PV rapid shutdown playbook
Goal
Ensure PV rapid shutdown requirements are met and properly labeled.
Inputs you must know before you start
- PV system layout and array boundaries.
- Rapid shutdown equipment type and listing.
- Required labeling locations.
- System voltage and interconnection details.
The path (in order)
- Identify the rapid shutdown boundary and required zones.
- Confirm listed rapid shutdown equipment is installed.
- Verify operation of rapid shutdown function.
- Install required labels and signage.
- Document testing and commissioning results.
This is
A checklist to verify rapid shutdown compliance for PV systems.
This is not
A full PV system design or interconnection plan.
Inspection-ready checklist
- Rapid shutdown boundary confirmed.
- Listed equipment installed and accessible.
- Shutdown function tested and documented.
- Required labels installed and legible.
Worked example
A rooftop PV array is checked for rapid shutdown boundary compliance, the shutdown device is tested, and labeling is installed at required locations.
