What is an important consideration for panels located above a specific voltage?

Marking panels as live is a vital safety consideration, especially for those operating above a certain voltage. This requirement helps ensure that anyone working near the solar panels or performing maintenance is aware of the potential hazards associated with high voltage. Clear labeling as "live" serves as a visual warning to prevent accidental contact, which could lead to electric shock or other serious injuries.

Furthermore, proper marking is crucial in emergency situations where first responders may need to quickly assess the risks present. This practice aligns with NEC requirements aimed at enhancing safety and preventing accidents. These markings provide essential information for installation and maintenance teams, promoting safe working conditions and ensuring that personnel are adequately informed of the risks involved with high-voltage systems.
