Solar PV Rapid Shutdown Labels

Solar PV system equipped with rapid shutdown labels detailed in National Electrical Code 2020 690.56(C) and NEC 2023 690.12(D). Includes reflective rapid shutdown switch for solar pv system label. Using durable engineer grade vinyl and UV-cured ink, these solar labels are part of Planset Signs Solar PV Labels range.

Rapid Shutdown Labels — NEC 690.12 & 690.56(C) Compliant

Rapid shutdown labels are required at the rapid shutdown initiation point of every solar PV system installed on a building, under NEC 2020 690.56(C) and NEC 2023 690.12(D). These labels identify the location of the rapid shutdown switch or initiation device and give emergency responders a clear, standardised instruction point for shutting down roof-level conductors.

The Planset Signs range includes both standard and reflective rapid shutdown labels. The reflective option is specified by many AHJs and fire departments for improved visibility in low-light conditions. All labels are made on Hi-Tack engineer-grade vinyl with UV-cured inks and gloss laminate.

Rapid shutdown requirements were introduced for buildings in NEC 2017 and substantially expanded in NEC 2020. If you're unsure which version applies, the 2020/2023 labels satisfy the most stringent requirements currently enforced — check with your AHJ to confirm the adopted code cycle.

About Solar PV Labels

NEC Article 690 requires permanent, legible, weather-resistant labels and markings throughout every solar PV installation. Labels must identify disconnecting means, source circuits, output circuit conductors, the interactive system point of connection, and rapid-shutdown initiation points.

Planset Signs manufactures the full set of labels required for a compliant California solar installation — from the AC breaker in the main panel to the conduit runs on the roof. All labels are pre-cut to standard dimensions and ready to apply straight from the pack.

What You'll Need for a Typical Install

  • Breaker label at main panel AC breaker (NEC 690.53)
  • Sub-panel backfeed breaker label if applicable
  • AC disconnect label at all disconnecting means
  • Conduit labels at each end and intermediate access points
  • Rapid shutdown initiation label at service entrance
  • DC source circuit write-in labels at combiner/disconnect
  • ESS labels if a battery storage system is included
  • Unit ID labels for multi-inverter or multi-string systems
