Fire service raises solar panels shock concerns

Posted on by

“The main hazard to be aware of is that the system can remain live even after it has been isolated, presenting the potential for an electric shock.”
Don’t wait for an accident to happen. Take charge and install a Remote Solar Isolator and protect everyone from the possibility of electrocution. The Remote Solar Isolator provides unrivalled protection to homes during fire, flood, maintenance or storm.

Fire Destroys Clubhouse

“There were solar panels on the roof which meant in effect we still had a live supply of electricity to the building, so we weren’t able to get into the building.It meant the fire developed much more rapidly than we would have liked.”

Another fire where installed solar panels hampers firefighting. Install a RSI to keep everyone safe and allow firefighters to do their job safely. The Remote Solar Isolator provides unrivalled protection to homes during fire, flood, maintenance or storm.

Teign Valley Hotel: Building’s roof destroyed by fire

Luckily nobody was injured. The fire broke out in the roof. “There were solar panels on the roof which meant in effect we still had a live supply of electricity to the building, so we weren’t able to get into the building. It meant the fire developed much more rapidly than we would have liked.”

The growing concern surrounding solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is that there is no safe way to isolate rooftop panels and stop the generation of potentially lethal Direct Current (DC) voltages. The Remote Solar Isolator provides the ability to remove all lethal d.c. voltages on any solar Photo-voltaic (PV) installation just by flicking a switch or disconnecting the incoming grid mains. The Remote Solar Isolator provides unrivalled protection to homes during fire, flood, maintenance or storm.

Fire reported in Chestertown

When a RSI is fitted to your home, anyone may stop the generation of electricity of the solar panels simply by flicking a switch at the meter board or in an emergency, by remotely disconnecting power at the nearest substation. This then provides a SAFE environment for all emergency personnel, tradespeople and you to access the solar PV system and roof knowing that NO lethal voltages are being generated.

Another fire caused from solar panel electrical components on the roof. Read the article posted in http://www.myeasternshoremd.com
