SunSpec Certified Rapid Shutdown Technology

SMA inverters paired with SunSpec certified rapid shutdown technology are the simplest, most reliable way to achieve compliance with NEC 2017 while producing more energy than traditional optimizers.

SunSpec Certified Rapid Shutdown Technology

Since 2019, the SunSpec Certified program for Rapid Shutdown has verified compliance to the SunSpec Communication Signal for Rapid Shutdown Functional Specification (“rapid shutdown”) to meet the requirement established by National Electrical Code (NEC) 2017/2020.

SMA inverters paired with SunSpec certified rapid shutdown technology are recognized as the simplest, and reliable way to achieve compliance with NEC 2017/2020 while producing more energy than that of traditional optimizers.
