About PV Link Optimizer
Generac SnapRS devices are designed to connect PV
modules within a string array to achieve 2017 and 2020
NEC 690.12 compliance with PV rapid shutdown system
(PVRSS) requirements. When used with Generac PV
Link™, Generac SnapRS devices allow all controlled
conductors within an array’s 1 ft (305 mm) boundary to
be limited to 80 VDC or less within 30 seconds of rapid
shutdown initiation.
SnapRS devices install to the negative (-) whip of each
PV module in the array using MC4 PV connectors. Each
PV module must have exactly one SnapRS device.
During a shutdown event, SnapRS devices isolate PV
modules to satisfy NEC 2017/2020 array conductor
voltage requirements.
NOTE: Generac SnapRS devices are not compatible
with existing Pika S2501 PV Links. If an existing PV array
must be brought into 2017 or 2020 NEC compliance,
Generac S2502 or newer model PV Links are required.
