Photovoltaic Power Systems and the National Electrical Code: Suggested Practices
This suggested practices manual examines the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) as they apply to photovoltaic (PV) power systems. The design requirements for the balance of systems components in a PV system are addressed, including conductor selection and sizing, overcurrent protection ratings and location, and disconnect ratings and location. PV array, battery, charge controller, and inverter sizing and selection are not covered, as these items are the responsibility of the system designer, and they in turn determine the items in this manual. Stand-alone, hybrid, and utility-interactive PV systems are all covered.
