Understanding NEC Requirements for Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Solar power installations are becoming more commonplace and continue to be an ever-expanding and exciting segment of the electrical industry that creates many NEC challenges for the designer, contractor, installer, inspector, and instructor. As the market for Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems still continues to grow, the rules governing their installations continue to evolve and are added or modified with each NEC revision cycle. This textbook covers the National Electrical Code requirements as they relate to Photovoltaic (PV) systems. These NEC rules are very complex and could easily be misinterpreted. This textbook will give you the confidence you need to apply these rules accurately to PV systems.
