PVStop is a fire retardant solution that acts as a liquid blanket to make solar panels safe. In the event of a short circuit or an emergency (such as a fire or flood) solar panels continue to produce potentially lethal amounts of DC voltage.

On March 24, the FDNY responded to a solar panel fire on the roof of a house in Staten Island, NY. Solar panel fires are a DC electrical event and can be difficult to extinguish with water. FDNY was equipped with PVStop, a product specifically designed to deal with the hazards presented by solar panels, and was able to extinguish the fire.
