All, please excuse the late addition to the thread, but I just
noticed that SMA has a PDF up describing their Rapid Shutdown
solution. I think it's just been uploaded in the last few weeks, so
in case you hadn't seen it:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Wrenches,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We are being
forced to adopt 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirement based on
several explanations given to our industry:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">2.</span><span
style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New

style="color:#1F497D">This product can be constructed from
readily available, over-the-counter code compliant
components. T</span><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">his

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We do not want
to act like an industry that appears to be fighting against
safety. And we know there are a few products that are code
compliant, micro-inverters (don’t comply with 705.12 (D) (6)
because there are no products), Solaredge, and Tigo (is it
approved?) yet this is not how we choose products. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And the SMA SPS
inverter is not going to work in a 690.12 environment
without complications as far as I can see. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
