<P class=MsoNormal>Can someone tell me what is being referred to in NEC 690.55 when it says “Photovoltaic power systems employing energy storage shall also be marked with the “maximum operating voltage, . . .” ?<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>We have an off-grid system which employs energy storage [i.e.; batteries]; so I need to know what exactly is referred to when this section mentions “maximum operating voltage” so I can put it on a sign.<o:p></o:p></P>
