Ensure full solar system safety and code compliance with the APsystems RSD-D-20 (MC4) — a dual-input, module-level rapid shutdown device (RSD) designed for maximum compatibility and efficiency in residential and commercial PV systems.
Code-Compliant Solar Safety
Meet and exceed NEC 690.12 requirements (2017, 2020, 2023) with this UL1741-certified RSD. The RSD-D-20 (MC4) ensures system shutdown when the Transmitter signal is absent, providing essential protection for rooftop and ground-mounted solar installations.
Dual-Input Channel for High-Density Arrays
Equipped with dual MPPT channel support, this MC4 rapid shutdown unit simplifies wiring and improves compatibility with modern PV modules, inverters, and split-phase solar inverters.
SunSpec Compliant & Smart Integration
Built to integrate seamlessly with SunSpec-certified inverters, the RSD-D-20 maintains operation via PLC-based heartbeat signal and allows manual shutdown via transmitter switch for added control and flexibility.
