Equipment
recommendations
•
All electrical equipment should be approved for the voltage and current
ratings necessary for the application.
•
All wiring should be sized correctly to minimize voltage drop.
•
All exposed wires or conduits should be sunlight resistant.
•
All required overcurrent protection and disconnecting means should be
included in the system and accessible for maintenance.

Important:
The PV array should be free of shade. This requirement includes even
small obstructions such as antennas, chimneys, and power lines. As well, be aware of
potential obstructions from growing trees and neighboring buildings. A small amount of
shade can have a disproportionately high impact on system performance.
