Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of everyone involved in electrical safety. Following is what I feel is an important rule in the 2020 NEC^®, complete with graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for your organization, and share it with your colleagues.

The content below is extracted from Mike Holt's NEC Requirements for Solar Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems textbook, based on the 2020 NEC.

At the beginning of each article in the Code, there is a rule that explains what is covered in the article [Scope]. If you’re like most, you might just pass by the Scope of the Code articles since they are, for the most part, pretty intuitive. However, such is not the case when it comes to “Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems”. You really need to take the time to read the text, review the graphics, and watch the video as a panel of industry experts explain in great detail, what you need to know in order to correctly apply the rules that apply to Solar Photovoltaic Systems. Especially pay attention to the discussion contained in the Informational Notes. Click here or on the thumbnail to the left to view or download the PDF of this rule to follow as you watch the video.
