4 FAQs about Are photovoltaic panels considered equipment

Are solar photovoltaic systems considered electrical equipment?

Answer: Yes. The State Electrical Code adopts by reference the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Solar photovoltaic systems fall within the definition of “equipment” as it is defined in the NEC. See NEC Articles 100, 690, 691, 705 and other applicable articles for all pertinent definitions.

What is a photovoltaic (PV) system?

There are three important definitions: “Photovoltaic (PV) system” is the combination of components, circuits, and equipment — up to and including the PV system disconnect — that converts solar energy into electrical energy [Art. 100].

Are solar panels considered electrical work?

Accordingly, solar PV systems, including the placement, positioning and securement of photovoltaic modules, panels and arrays, and their associated components and all electrical wiring, are electrical equipment under the State Electrical Code. EL-2) How is the term “electrical work” defined in state law? Electrical work.

Can a new solar PV system be installed in a building?

Answer: No. The existing Rapid Shutdown system technology installed at the time of the initial installation of the solar PV system would be acceptable. NEC Section 690.12 addresses the Rapid Shutdown requirements for “new” solar PV systems installed in or on a building, and not to existing solar PV systems.
