These rules mandate that all solar inverters operating at any DC voltage higher than 120 V have to include AFCI protection to prevent fires caused by arc faults. Solar inverters without AFCIs were still allowed until the end of 2024, but from 2025 onwards, compliance is mandatory for certification and safety inspections.
In the U.S., the National Electric Code (NEC) has required AFCI protection for solar PV systems with DC circuits over 80 V since 2011 (NEC 2023 690.11). This regulation mandates that all systems installed in or on a building must include measures to detect and interrupt arc faults.
So as to protect the personal and property safety of users. The AFCI function will detect all series arcs within the DC side circuit from 200 to 750 J. When an arc is detected, the inverter stops running immediately and an error message is displayed within 2.5 seconds indicating that an arc fault has been detected.
Solar inverters without AFCIs were still allowed until the end of 2024, but from 2025 onwards, compliance is mandatory for certification and safety inspections. Hoymiles has already aligned with these regulations. Our AFCI-compliant microinverters passed rigorous certification tests according to IEC 63027 standards.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
