The PV system (and 690.12) stop at the PV Disconnect. (see figure
690.1(b), Note (2)). Charge Controllers are part of the Energy Storage
system (706) now. We presented this in our plan sets, and we drew clear
lines on the wiring diagram showing which articles applied to which
parts of the system. The AHJs have not challenged us on this. However,
they pulled a bunch of other stuff out, for instance that 705 still
applies to off grid....
I still have not seen a good presentation anywhere on applying NEC 2017
to off grid, outside of the RE Wrenches list. Everyone is still
figuring this all out for off grid after all the changes in 2017. Can't
wait to see what 2020 looks like....

HI Jason
Does that mean that 690.12 B 1 would apply with the following.
A ground mounted or external array to a living structure
and
if the CC was less than 1 meter from entry into the building
You wouldn’t need rapid shut down?

Just a reminder to everyone struggling with this issue that only
building-attached circuits energized by PV sources require RSD. So
ground mounts generally don’t, or at least would only require a
disconnect at the building if sending dc circuits into buildings.
Energy Storage is covered under article 706 in 2017 and does not
require any shutdown, just sensible disconnection requirements.
