What solar installers need to know about rapid shutdown

There are three ways to satisfy the 2017 NEC, according to Ken Boyce, principal engineer director of energy and power technologies at UL: 1. Install a "listed" or field-labeled rapid shutdown system. The term "listed"

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Block Diagram

Energy Storage: UPS systems use batteries, however this time is enough to safely shut down the connected apparatus (computers, telecommunication equipment etc) or to switch on a standby power source.

Rapid System Shutdown: Questions and Solutions

"One way to achieve rapid shutdown in commercial systems is to mount the inverter close to the array, within the 10-ft perimeter," Ozga says. "The second option is to use a junction/combiner box that has a contactor

6 FAQs about [How to shut down the energy storage circuit]

What is the Enphase system shutdown switch?

The Enphase System Shutdown switch provides the functionality of Rapid shutdown as mandated by NEC when it is used with IQ System Controller 2 which has a IQ8 micro inverter connected to it. For more information on Rapid shutdown please refer to the Rapid Shutdown FAQ

Can a rapid shutdown switch serve standby systems?

The informational note in 690.12 (C) (3) has been updated to acknowledge that not only could a rapid shutdown switch serve standby systems, but it could also serve standalone systems which would not have the service disconnect as a rapid shutdown switch and may not have a PV AC disconnect to initiate rapid shutdown.

What is a system shutdown switch?

The System Shutdown Switch is a rapid shutdown switch for IQ8 rapid shutdown requirements in 690.12. The System Shutdown Switch is the initiation device for 2023 706.15B emergency shutdown function requirements. The System Shutdown Switch may be considered the ESS disconnecting or remote actuation means for code cycles prior to 2023.

How many rapid shutdown switches can a PV system have?

The new iteration of the NEC also notes that there can still be up to six rapid shutdown switches on a single service; however, if a PV system must have a single RSD dedicated to it, then those six RSDs would imply a connection to six distinct PV systems.

What are PV rapid shutdown devices?

This guide delves into the background of PV Rapid Shutdown Devices, explores the requirements across different countries, and clarifies the differences between module-level and string-level rapid shutdown systems. is a safety feature designed to de-energize solar panels or entire PV systems quickly, particularly during emergencies such as fires.

How do I identify the rapid shutdown switch/Enphase Energy System shutdown labels?

In order to help identify the Rapid Shut down switch/ Enphase Energy System Shutdown labels are provided in the SKU EP200G-NA-02-RSD. 2 labels need to be affixed and both of these need to be within 3ft (1m) from the IQ System Controller or a distance specified by the Authorities having Jurisdiction.
