>>Dear PV Industry Forum:
>>
>>Code Making Panel 4 with Ward Bower as the PV Industry Representative
(Bill Brooks, Alternate) met for three fast and furious days in January 2009
to work on proposals submitted for Articles 225, 230, 690, 692, 694, 700,
702, and 705 in the 2011 NEC.
>>
>>The PV Industry Forum made proposals for Articles 300, 690  and 705 .
>>
>>The Report of Proposals (ROP) showing all proposals and the panel actions
for articles 690 and 705 is attached.
>>
>>Also attached articles 690 and 705 in the 2011 Draft Code based on the ROP
panel actions.
>>
>>The full ROP and the full draft 2011 NEC can be downloaded from the NFPA
web site.
>>
>>We had many of our 55 proposals accepted, but key proposals came up late
in the back-breaking, 20 hours-per-day sessions and were rejected by CMP 4
who is new to PV this year.
>>
>>I will be circulating draft comments that may help us revive rejected
proposals.  In particular, we need our changes for 690.14 and 705.12
accepted or the PV code may remain in a dark and confusing stage on these
subjects for yet another three years.

>The comments are due 23 October and I will be submitting them about 19
October.
