Inverter label
It is recommended that Inverters carry a sign stating "Inverter - isolate a.c. and d.c. before carrying out work"
Ideally a label stating "not to block ventilation" will be placed next to the inverter to ensure the customer does not block the vents of the inverter, this can cause a loss in system performance as the inverter will de-rate when it reaches its maximum operating temperature.

DC cable label
Where long cable runs are necessary (e.g. over 20m), labels should be fixed along the d.c. cables.
Labeling fixed every 5 to 10m is considered sufficient to identify the cable on straight runs where a clear view is possible between labels.
Where multiple PV sub-arrays and/or string conductors enter a junction box they should be grouped or identified in pairs so that positive and negative conductors of the same circuit may easily be clearly distinguished from other pairs.
