Much like Ray we have interpreted this protection to mean the "dangerous" parts
of the solar and not the module frame. As such we employed plastic "deer
fence"

standard, and 2 of us were NABCEP certified.

690.31(A) just says "circuit conductors shall be guarded" Finally,

inspector. After that I would build the fence he wants. I would also build
it to be easily dismantled/removed. Good Luck!

Thanks all. The NEC reference 110.27 is helpful.
I am in a battle now with my AHJ building inspector which relates indirectly to

window at an angle of 30 degrees. The bottom of the array is 7' from grade. The
