Hello Robin and boB.
Ryans Midnite video of the Birdhouse and rapid
shutdown disconnects is amazing. It does look
like you are producing a means of implementing this new code rule.
In many situations, the rapid shutdown
requirement certainly makes sense. In a large
system where high voltag
HI Dan,
If you are doing 24v battery or below, you should be able to ignore the battery

Dave; I feel your pain as do many others.
I feel like I've been Rick-rolled on the whole 690.12 thing. As a
firefighter, I thought rapid shutdown was a great idea for roof mounted
arrays. Shut down fast from a central location on the ground, get up on the
roof, do what needs to be done, fast and no

Luckily, if the house is still connected to the grid when they try this,
the little generator will not be able to

So this would make sense that this Rapid Shut down provision would cover
all generator backup systems too, not just solar.
Considering auto start backup generators have been around for many
decades, I have a few questions:
1) Does NEC 2014 require Rapid shutdown for all generator systems, or is

Dan, The 2014 690.12 is worded poorly. That is why there is so much
confusion. MidNite Solar is sitting on the NEC2017 690.12 committee.

Hi Mac, all;
Since Colorado just adopted NEC2014 July 1, I have not heard any AHJ
stories yet. But look at 690.12 (1):
"Requirements for controlled conductors shall apply only to PV system
conductors of more than 5 ft in length inside a building, OR more than 10
ft from a PV array."

Hi Will,
Yes I'm sure AHJ's will be all over the place for a while here in Colorado. To
clarify, is this a manual disconnect in the attic? If so, that is really
missing the whole idea of a rapi

Hello wrenches,
I am still trying to wrap my head around how to comply with rapid shutdown
in off-grid and hybrid situations. I've got a few questions that maybe you
can help with.
