Fronius Symo Advanced is UL 3741 Certified

What is UL 3741?

UL 3741 is a solution to the NEC 690.12 requirement of module level rapid shutdown within a photovoltaic (PV) solar system.  According to UL’s website, UL 3741 provides “a means of evaluation for PV hazard control components, equipment and systems that reduce shock hazards from energized PV system equipment and circuits in a PV array. It is specifically intended to establish and expand requirements for the evaluation of a rapid-shutdown PV array that can keep firefighters out of hazardous current paths when responding to emergency situations in homes and buildings with PV systems.”

NEC 690.12 background

2020 NEC 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings requires that all PV arrays installed on buildings shall include rapid shutdown functions to reduce shock hazard for Fire Fighters in accordance with 690.12 (For further information regarding NEC 690.12, refer to manufacturer’s website)

The solution

Fronius Symo Advanced

The Fronius Symo Advanced string inverter is UL 3741 certified for use with listed flat roof systems when the inverter is installed within the 1 ft array boundary. This certification eliminates the need for module level rapid shutdown devices. When modules are properly mounted with either of these UL 3741 approved PV Hazard Control commercial installation systems, the Fronius Symo Advanced is NEC 690.12 compliant.

 

All mounting systems are UL 3741 certified according to 2023 NEC 690.12 Controlling Conductors within the array boundary (Also compliant with the 2017 and 2020 versions of the NEC).
