Photovoltaic equipment and systems and all associated wiring and
interconnections shall be installed only by qualified persons.
Photovoltaic system conductors shall be identified and grouped. The means of
identification shall be permitted by separate color coding, marking tape, tagging,
or other approved means. The means of grouping shall be wire ties or similar
means at least once, and then at intervals not to exceed six (6) feet.
CALCULATIONS FOR CURRENT CARRYING CONDUCTORS
DC required conductor ampacity
[NEC 690.8(B)(1)1:
8.86 A * 1 String * 1.56 = 13.82 A
AWG #10, derated ampacity
Ambient Temp: 69 deg C
Temp Derating Factor: 0.58
40 * 0.58 * 0.8 = 18.56
18.56 A > 13.82 A, therefore DC wire size is valid.
AC required conductor ampacity
32A*1.25=40A
AWG #8, derated ampacity
Ambient Temp: 47 deg C
Temp Derating Factor: 0.96
55 * 0.96 * 1 = 52.8
52.8 A > 40 A, therefore AC wire size is valid.
