FAQS 4

Do solar panels need a rapid shutdown?

Rapid Shutdown isn’t just for solar panels—it also applies to battery backup systems. During a grid outage or emergency, battery storage systems continue to provide power to the home. However, if a shutdown is needed, these batteries must automatically stop delivering electricity to prevent electrical hazards. Why is this important?

What is solar rapid shutdown?

Solar rapid shutdown refers to the ability, mandated by regulation, to easily shut down a solar panel system in case of an emergency. Rapid shutdown regulations were first implemented in 2014 as a safety precaution by the National Electrical Code (NEC), offering a fast and effective way of cutting off the electricity running through the system.

How do I choose a rapid shutdown solution for my solar panel system?

Selecting the appropriate rapid shutdown solution for your solar panel system depends on a few factors: Type of Inverter: If you’re using microinverters, rapid shutdown is inherently taken care of. For string inverters, you may need to add MLPE or consider MOREDAY’s RSD for better compliance.

Why do solar PV systems have a rapid shutdown feature?

To prevent this, the National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates the Rapid Shutdown feature to ensure a safer working environment. Traditional solar PV systems are DC-based, meaning they produce direct current (DC) electricity, which remains live as long as sunlight is available.
