[RE-wrenches] Location of DC disconnect vis-a-vis rapid shutdown exemption

[Mark Frye]

Folks,

As I recall, an inverter and it's integrated DC disconnect need only be 
placed in an accessible location. I am thinking of putting an inverter 
high up on the wall inside a garage. That would be OK vis-a-vis the 
location of the disconnect (still accessible for maintenance).

If I do put the inverter high up on the wall, I can limit my DC 
conductors to less that 10 feet total from the array and less that 5 
feet inside the garage.

That means I get the exemption from the rapid disconnect requirement, right?

There is nothing in the Code linking the accessibility of the DC 
disconnect to the exemption from rapid shutdown, right?
