Code ANSI/NFPA 70 requirements. Use 90°C (194 °F) copper solid
or stranded wire for all DC and AC wiring to the PVI inverter to opti-
mimize system efficiency. Size conductors per NEC requirements.
PV solar arrays produce hazardous voltages and currents when
exposed to light which can create an electrical shock hazard. Using
dark opaque sheets cover the PV solar array before wiring or con-

Before connecting the Solectria PVI inverter to the AC distribution
grid, approval must be received by appropriate local utility as requi-
