Kurt,

The NEC provides for, and the AHJs have accepted the use of the 
connectors as a form of disconnect.  Of course, each branch is also 
connected to a dedicated branch overcurrent device (circuit breaker).

On the DC side, since only one module is connected to each inverter, the 
connectors also serve as a means of disconnect.  The DC wiring does not 
enter the building, so a separate DC disconnect is not required.

What specific questions do you have about labeling?

See Ya!
