How to achieve full solar farm label compliance with durable, IEC-certified solutions

Published: 30 April 2025 Category: News

As solar energy continues to expand across the UK, proper and compliant identification on solar farms is critical—not only for safety but also to ensure fast inspections and reliable long-term maintenance.

How to achieve full solar farm label compliance with durable, IEC-certified solutions

Brady, a global leader in industrial identification solutions, delivers a full suite of labeling options designed specifically for solar installations.

Backed by international standards and tested for extreme conditions, these solutions make it easier than ever to meet compliance requirements and maintain high operational safety.

 

Why Accurate Solar Farm Labelling Is Essential

Solar farms are exposed to harsh environments and consist of complex electrical systems. Without clear, compliant identification:

  • Inspection processes can stale

  • Maintenance becomes more hazardous

  • Long-term system integrity may be compromised

 

Proper labeling helps to:

  • Ensure safety for maintenance crews and emergency responders

  • Speed up installation handovers and regulatory inspections

  • Support documentation and system traceability for years to come

 

Fully Compliant with IEC and International Standards

Brady’s label solutions are engineered to meet key global standards including:

  • IEC 62548-1:2023 – Photovoltaic system design and installation

  • IEC 61730-1:2023 – PV module safety qualification

  • IEC 62109-1:2010 – Safety for power converters

  • UTE C 15-712-1 – For France-based installations

 

Durable Labels for All Solar Farm Components

Cable Identification Labels:

  • B-427: Self-laminating vinyl wrap-around label

  • B-642: Flame-retardant polyvinylfluoride label

Component & Equipment Labels:

  • B-483: High-adhesion rubber polyester label

  • B-7529P: Laminated PET signage for long-term durability

 

Built to Last in Harsh Outdoor Conditions

Every Brady label material undergoes strict testing under IEC 61730-2:2023 durability standards. These tests confirm resistance to:

  • UV radiation and sunlight exposure

  • Extreme temperature cycling

  • High humidity

  • Abrasion and physical wear

  • Chemical contact

  • Fire and flame spread

  • Adhesion failure

  • Text degradation or fading
