Solar Panel Installation Labels
• National Electric Code (NEC) demands
proper marking and labeling of solar
systems. Tyco Electronics labels are
designed to withstand harsh outdoor
environments. The labels can be
exposed to rain, intense sunlight, UV
rays, snow, ice, cold temperature, sand,
salt spray and condensation from
fog. The solar labels adhere to IEC
61215 / IEC 61646
Applications & Materials

Reflective Solar Labels
• Reflective solar labels are manufactured
using retro reflective marking to provide
emergency responders with appropriate
warning and guidance relative to isolating
the solar electric system. The label(s) were
designed to be in accordance with the
dimensional, functional and verbiage
requirements established by the California
Fire Marshall’s April 2009, Solar Photovoltaic
Installation Guideline.
