Label Kit PRODUCTS AT SOLAR RAINS
What Is a Label Kit?
A label kit is a complete set of pre-printed or customizable labels used to mark components of a solar or electrical system. These solar labels are essential for identifying voltage levels, warning signs, system components, isolators, inverters, battery enclosures, and cable routes.
In Australia, accurate and weather-resistant solar labelling is not just good practice—it’s a legal requirement under the AS/NZS 5033 standard. Every solar PV system must include permanent, legible, and compliant labels across key system components for the benefit of inspectors, installers, and future maintenance teams.
Solar Rains supplies fully compliant label kits specifically designed for the Australian solar industry, helping ensure your project passes inspection and operates safely long term.
Why Are Solar Labels Important?
- Compliance with regulations: Required by AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777, and local DNSP standards.
- Improved safety: Clearly identifies voltage levels, danger zones, and emergency shutdown procedures.
- Easier maintenance: Helps technicians quickly locate system components and understand functionality.
- Professional presentation: Creates a clean, standardised finish for all solar installations.
- Durability: Withstands UV exposure, heat, rain, and other harsh outdoor conditions.
A proper label kit not only improves your reputation as an installer but also reduces the risk of failed inspections or warranty disputes.

Important Considerations When Choosing a Solar Label Kit
1. System Type (Grid-tied, Hybrid, Off-grid)
Different systems require different labels. For example, hybrid systems need additional labelling for battery isolation, charge controllers, and bi-directional inverters.
2. DNSP (Distributor) Requirements
Some network operators require additional signage or differently worded labels for inverter shutdown, AC disconnects, or export limits. Solar Rains offers label kits based on your regional authority.
3. Material Durability
Choose labels made from UV-rated vinyl or rigid plastic (polycarbonate or Traffolyte) to prevent peeling, fading, or cracking in outdoor conditions.
4. Compliance to Latest Standards
Regulations change frequently. Make sure your label kit is up to date with the latest version of AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777, and DNSP guidelines.
5. System Size and Scope
Commercial systems may require extra AC board labels, sub-mains, or grid protection signage. Choose kits that offer expansion or customisation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Are solar labels really required by law in Australia?
Yes. According to AS/NZS 5033, solar installations must include permanent and legible labels for isolators, inverters, batteries, wiring, and emergency information. Non-compliance may lead to failed inspections or unsafe conditions. - What is included in a standard solar label kit?
A standard label kit includes signage for AC and DC isolators, inverters, solar supply mains, shutdown procedures, danger labels, and cable identifiers. Solar Rains kits are packaged to meet standard installation needs. - Can I get custom solar labels for a complex system?
Yes. We offer customised solar labels with specific wording, layout names, or company branding. This is ideal for commercial installers or those operating in regions with unique DNSP labelling requirements. - How long do solar labels last in outdoor environments?
High-quality solar labels made from UV-resistant vinyl or laser-engraved materials can last 10–15 years depending on exposure. All Solar Rains labels are rated for long-term durability. - Do your labels comply with Clean Energy Council (CEC) audits?
