The NEP PVG-2 Rapid Shutdown Solution (RSD) is a high-performance safety device engineered to meet the latest NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown requirements for residential, commercial, and industrial solar energy systems. This dual-input module-level RSD ensures fast and reliable shutdown of solar modules during emergencies, protecting both personnel and property.
Compliant with SunSpec signaling, UL 1741, CSA C22.2 No. 107.1, and NEC 2017/2020 690.12, the PVG-2 integrates easily with most solar inverters through DC power line communication, eliminating the need for extra wiring or hardware.
Key Features & Benefits:
- NEC 690.12 ComplianceMeets NEC 2014, 2017, and 2020 requirements for rapid shutdown of solar systems in the U.S. and Canada CEC 64-218.
- Dual PV Module InputsSupports two solar panels per unit, reducing cost and simplifying installations that require rapid shutdown for multiple modules.
- SunSpec Signaling CompatibilityWorks with all SunSpec-compliant inverters and uses existing DC lines for signal communication.
- High-Voltage ReadyAccepts up to 90V DC open circuit per input, and a total system voltage of up to 1500V DC.
- MC4 Connectors and 12AWG CablePre-wired with MC4 connectors and standard 12AWG PV-rated cable for seamless integration with most solar panels.
- Rugged, Outdoor-Rated EnclosureNEMA 6 protection for weather resistance and reliable performance in harsh environments from -40°C to +85°C.
- Flexible Mounting OptionsCan be mounted on the module frame or rail, making it suitable for various racking systems and installation conditions.
