It is useful for installers, electricians, and electrical inspectors or authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) in understanding how -code -compliance is handled where NEC 2014 is adopted. Main topics discussed in this document are: • NEC 2014 Section 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings • NEC 2014 Section 705.12 Point.of Connection • NEC 2014 Section 690.11 DC Arc -Fault Circuit Protection NEC 2014 Section 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings Enphase Microlnverter Systems fully meetzthe.rapid.shutdown.requirement without the need to install additional electrical equipment..Properly labeling tthhre PV system power source and rapid shutdown ability . ic:rnniurori nor NFP Cnrfinn RO(1 �R /Ql �n.� %!`\ f. Solar electric PV systems with Enphase Microinverters have one utility -interactive inverter directly underneath each solar module, converting low voltage DC to utility grid -compliant AC. When the utility grid is available and the sun is shining, each microinverter verifies that. the utility grid is operating within the IEEE 1547 requirements. Only then does it export AC power into the electric service for use by loads onsite or export power to the utility grid for others to use. When the utility grid has a failure, or the PV system AC circuits are disconnected from the utility service via an AC breaker, AC disconnect, or removal of the solar or main utility service meter, the microinverters stop producing AC power in fewer than six AC cycles. Enphase Microinverters are not capable of operating as an AC voltage source. This means that Without an AC utility source, Enphase Microinverters are not able to energize connected wiring and no AC voltage or current can be injected into the inverter output circuits or the grid. When the AC utility source is removed from the inverter output circuits via any means, such as an AC breaker, AC disconnect or removal of the solar or main utility service meter, this equipment performs the rapid shutdown function per 690.12. With an Enphase Microinverter System this shutdown occurs well within the 690.1.2 required 10 seconds, and there are no other conductors energized more than 1.5 m (5 ft) in length inside a building or more than 3 m (10 ft) from a PV array. Code Reference 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings. PV system circuits installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function that controls specific conductors in accordance with 690.12(1) through (5) as follows. (1) Requirements for controlled conductors shall apply only to PV system conductors of more than 1.5 m (5 ft) in length inside a building, or more than 3 m (10 ft) from a PV array. ' (2) Controlled conductors shall be limited to not more than 30 volts and 240 volt-amperes within 10 seconds of rapid shutdown initiation. (3) Voltage and power shall be measured between any two conductors and between any conductor and. ground. (4) The rapid shutdown initiation methods shall be labeled in accordance with 690.56(B). (5) Equipment that performs the rapid shutdown shall be listed and identified. © 2015 Enphase Energy Inc. All rights reserved.

Locate, choose, and mark centers of rafters to be mounted. Select the courses of shingles where mounts will be placed. Carefully lift composition roof shingle with roofing bar,just above placement of mount. Remove nails as required. See "Proper Flashing Placement" on next page. Insert Flashing between 1 st and 2nd course. Slide up so top edge of flashing 6 at least 3/4" higher than the drip edge of the 3rd course and lower flashing edge is above the dip edge of 1 st course. Mark center for drilling. Using drill with 7/32" bit, drill pilot hole into roof and rafter, taking care to drill square to the roof. Do not use mount as a drill guide. Drill should be 'long style but' aka aircraft extension bit'to drill a 3" deep hole into rafter. Clean off any sawdu--t, and fill hole with sealant Slide flashing into position.

BI 7.23-7 Jan -2017, Rev 8 Reference and Tips Additional tips and information for installing mounts: - ■ See Classic Composition Mount install and Quick Tips videos on nail removal, bolt prep; and more at: www.quictmountpv.com/support/videos.html ■ It is not necessary or advisable to use nails or other fasteners to secure the perimeter: of the flashing. - ti • ■ • The Classic Composition Mount is made to work with standard and high-definition composition/ asphalt and wood shingle roofs with 5" to 5-5/8" courses. If the exposed surface of the course' exceeds this measurement you may need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead. ■ Depending on the season and climate, size and location of seal tabs, and quality of the shingles, the seal tabs that adhere the.shingle courses together may not 'effectively seal the shingles to the flashings. IF this is the case, simply add several quarter -sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant or asphalt roofing cement, meeting ASTM D 4586 Type Il,,between the flashing and the shingle above. ■ Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming. Water ponding M� under the shingles can reach the bolt penetration. ■ Take care not to damage the roofing material while working on the roof. Removing stone granules and deforming the shingles in any way can shorten the lifespan of the roofing.The value of the solar array is directly affected by the condition of the roof it is attached to. - BI 7.2.3-7 - Jan -2017, Rev 8 Jan -2017, Rev 8 Enphase Microinverters EnphaseM215'' "g 4rs S , •�..:-i. i _ °'XiTT Ti k S .. , . 1 , The Enphase M215 MicroinverterTM....with integrated ground delivers increased energy harvest and reduces design and installation complexity with its all -AC approach.

Step Details Single -Phase Service Three Phase Service Li to N 207 to 253 Vac Li to L2 to L3 360 to 440 Vac Li, L2, L3 to N 207 to 253 Vac 4 WARNING: Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all applicable local electrical standards. WARNING: Only use electrical system components approved for wet locations. WARNING: Do NOT exceed the maximum number of microinverters In an AC branch circuit as listed in the table below. Each branch circuit must be protected with a 20A maximum breaker. Service type Max M215s per branch Single -Phase Service 17 Three -Phase Service 27 WARNING: Size the AC cable/wire size to account for voltage drop. Select conductor diameter based on the distance from the beginning of the microinverter AC branch circuit to the breaker in the AC mains. See Voltage Drop Calculations at http://www.enphase.com. WARNING: Allow a minimum of 1.9cm between the roof and the bottom of the microinverter. Also allow 1.3cm between the back of the PV module and the top of the microinverter. NOTE: The AC output neutral is not bonded to earth inside the microinverter. NOTE: Torque the microinverter fasteners to these values: • 6mm mounting hardware - 5 N m minimum • 8mm mounting, hardware - 9 N m minimum • 10/32 earthing cleat screw - 2 N m minimum Using a power screwdriver is not recommended due to the risk of thread galling. © Disconnect tool WARNING: Install sealing caps as on all unused AC connectors they become live when the system is energised. I1367 -rated sealing caps are required to protect against moisture ingress. NOTE: To remove a sealing cap, you must use the Enphase disconnect tool or a screwdriver. O NOTE: The cabling uses the following wiring scheme.
