Labeling requirements
Local codes and standards list many labels and notices that
must be installed on these systems. Consult these documents
and your local installer to make sure you comply.
Generally labels cover the following:
Breakers should be clearly labelled and state what it is
they do.
DC wire should be clearly labelled to avoid confusion
with AC wires.
Emergency shutdown procedure should be clearly
stated, markers on your property may be required to
direct emergency services.
Normal start up and shut down procedures should be
clearly stated. System manual should be supplied.
Durable label kits for on-grid and off-grid solar PV
systems are available for purchase that comply
with relevant standards from your local renewable
energy installer. Hydro systems should have
similar labels.
Shutdown procedure notice
Your version of this should be displayed at the main switchboard, at the distribution board,
and adjacent to equipment to be operated (e.g. battery overcurrent protection). The
example below is to illustrate the general idea:
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
If possible:
You should stop the hydro turbine by closing the valves (slowly),
and switch the inverter off
prior to shutting down the DC electrical system.
1. Turn off the turbine circuit breaker.
2. Turn off all the battery circuit breakers.
3. Pull out the main battery fuse-holder to isolate the battery.
To start up, follow the above procedure in reverse.
