[RE-wrenches] suggested scary language

"and is widely available"
Widely available from where?
I have looked off and on and never found any premade signs.
Is there a shelf full of these somewhere? Cause it sure isn't here!

Marco --

I train fire departments around the country in PV safety, and I also 
train PV installers in how to train their local fire departments.

As a firefighter myself, the signage I like to see (and should meet NEC 
code, and is widely available) is:

DC Disconnect
Warning: Electric Shock Hazard
DO NOT TOUCH TERMINALS
Terminals on both Line and Load sides may be energized in open position
DC VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS PRESENT WHEN SOLAR MODULES ARE EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT


I do NOT like to see the word "photovoltaic" in signage-- unless 
firefighters have been trained, they often don't know what the word 
means. Photo-WHAT?
