All, please excuse the late addition to the thread, but I just noticed
that SMA has a PDF up describing their Rapid Shutdown solution. I think
it's just been uploaded in the last few weeks, so in case you hadn't
seen it:

Morning Wrenches,
SMA is developing a product to meet 690.12 requirements.
It will be shown at SPI in Las Vegas.
Also, you will still be able to have SPS function with the provided
solution.
Thanks

Hi Wrenches,
We are being forced to adopt 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirement based
on several explanations given to our industry:
1.otherwise we would be ignoring the life safety and put our fire
fighters lives in peril
2.This product can be constructed from readily available,
over-the-counter code compliant components. This (is) to be the
intent of CMP4when compiling the NFPA70.
We do not want to act like an industry that appears to be fighting
against safety. And we know there are a few products that are code
compliant, micro-inverters (don’t comply with 705.12 (D) (6) because
there are no products), Solaredge, and Tigo (is it approved?) yet this
is not how we choose products.
And the SMA SPS inverter is not going to work in a 690.12 environment
without complications as far as I can see.
Appreciate comments that might support the right decision.
Thanks,
Randy
