SunSpect module level and monitored NEP Rapid Shutdown Device
achieve compliance with NEC 2017
Northern Electric Power (NEP) was founded in the USA and has a 10 year history of developing advanced solar power conversion solutions. We have shipped over 1.6 million units of our market leading microinverter and rapid shutdown MLPE products to customer in more than 25 countries. NEP has a relentless focus on safety, reliability, cost efficiency and customer focused innovation.
What is rapid shutdown?
With the increased popularity of solar PV — especially on homes — the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) wanted to find a way to ensure firefighters could be safer when responding to fires on buildings with solar PV.
In response, the NFPA, which publishes the National Electric Code (NEC) — standards for electrical wiring that are adopted by states and municipalities in the United States, introduced rapid shutdown.
Rapid shutdown requirements aim to provide a simple method for firefighters to de-energize the DC conductors in a solar system and ensure safe conditions on a roof if there’s a fire, explained Edward Harner, Chief Operating Officer of Green Solar Technologies.
In the 2017 NEC, NEC Section 690.12 was updated to reflect new rapid shutdown rules. The update calls for module-level rapid shutdown instead of the array-level rapid shutdown required in the NEC 2014 code. States and municipalities adopt different versions of the NEC over time, but as of January 1, 2020, the NFPA reports that 31 states have adopted the 2017 NEC.
To meet these module-level regulations, smart modules, microinverters and other module-level power electronics are needed.
NEP RSD provides real time panel level information, including:
PV voltage, current, power, energy output and alert message
NEP RSD provides panel level control and protection settings
Over temperature protection
Over voltage protection
Over current protection
Safety is a Flex MLPE function available as an integrated modular This US ETL certified Rapid Shutdown solution works with almost all modules & inverters to comply with NEC 2014, 2017, and 2020.
- NEC 2014, 2017, 2020 690.12 rapid shutdown compliant
- Automatic or manual shutdown
- Module-level deactivation
- Plus all the benefits of Monitoring
NEP Rapid Shutdown
1,PVG-1 for single panel
2, controller/transmitter
PVG-C or PVG-D
for home small system, can use the simple controller
for the commerical lager project, recommend us the controller with CT
this transmitter can be installed into the string inverter
and outside bigger one, which has built in the 12v battery
3, can be panel-level monitor with MPPT
Wiring connection diagram of rapid shutdown
Recommend PVG 4, which can connect 4 panels at once, which save cost, because PVG4 like put 4pcs of PVG-1 together, hwoever, price is not quadruple. the connecting way is parallel
PVG-4
for PVG-4, we have four kinds decided by the solar panel layout;

Difference NEP Rapid shutdown with other brand
NEP rapid shutdown is doule way communication, which can find and shutdown easily
