Inverter Notifi cation Requirements
When an inverter is installed in a building, facility, or structure, standard safety practices require a
label or plaque be present. This label/plaque is required to be readily visible and provide information
that informs personnel to the location of all electrical system disconnects. This is to ensure all
power to a building is quickly located and shut down in an emergency. There are also specifi c
requirements for this label/plaque depending on the inverter application, they are:
2.7.1 Facilities with Standalone Systems
Any building, facility, or structure with a photovoltaic power system that is not connected to a
utility service source and is a standalone system, must have a permanent plaque or directory
installed on the exterior of the building or structure at a readily visible location acceptable to
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The plaque or directory must provide the location of the
system disconnecting means, and include information regarding whether the structure contains a
standalone electrical power system.
2.7.2 Inverter Warning Label
A warning label as shown in Figure 2-16 is provided to inform all personnel that an inverter is
installed in your electrical system. Affi x this label in a clearly visible location by the electrical panel
that is being powered by the inverter. This is because it might be falsely assumed that the panel is
no longer "hot" after the AC power has been shut off, when power may actually still be available
due to the inverter automatically powering the panel.

Final Inspection

1.
Verify all cables/conduit runs are secured with wire ties or other non-conductive fasteners to
prevent chafi ng, or damage from movement and vibration.
2.
Verify strain reliefs or grommets are in place to prevent damage to the wiring or conduit where
it passes through walls or other openings.
3.
Verify all AC connections are correct and torqued to a maximum of 16 in lbf (1.8 N-m).
4.
Replace the covers on the main electrical/distribution panel.
5.
Replace the chassis access cover.
6.
Verify the inverter's front panel switch is in the OFF position.
Info: If required by code, have the installation inspected by an electrical inspector.
