Section 690.12 of the US national electric code (NEC) has provisions that require rapid shutdown at module level for photovoltaic power plants. This Rapid Shutdown function can be implemented into a Smart Junction Box a more complex system compared to a traditional junction box which only has by-pass diodes, as it also measures voltage, current and temperature in each module. It also provides other functionalities including arc detection, security and performance monitoring, anti-theft protection, and remote diagnostics. Data sent on existing DC cabling via Powerline Communication (PLC) guarantees compliance to requirements including those set by the SunSpec Alliance. Read more
