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.

Rapid Response

Crucial for First Responders and Fire Safety

In fire situations involving solar panels, time is of the essence. The PVStop spray system is designed for a swift and effective response, playing a crucial role in ensuring the safety of first responders and preventing the escalation of hazards. Acting quickly is paramount for the following reasons:

Immediate Safety for First Responders: Fires involving solar panels pose unique challenges, especially with the presence of DC voltage. Rapid application of PVStop ensures a prompt deactivation of the panels, creating a safer environment for first responders to navigate and address the emergency.
Mitigation of Electrical Arcs: In the event of an electrical arc downstream, quick intervention is essential. PVStop not only deactivates solar panels swiftly but also acts as a preventive measure to stop electrical arcs, reducing the risk of ongoing electrical hazards.
Cutting the Source: PVStop serves as a vital tool in cutting off the source of potential danger. By promptly covering panels and blocking light to PV cells, it interrupts solar power production, minimizing the risk of further ignition or propagation of the fire.
Effective Fire Suppression: The rapid application of PVStop can be likened to using a fire extinguisher for solar panels. It provides an immediate and targeted solution to suppress flames, preventing the spread of fire and protecting surrounding areas from potential damage.
Strategic Fire Containment: Acting quickly with PVStop is a strategic approach to containing the fire. By swiftly neutralizing the panels and reducing DC voltage, the potential for the fire to spread is significantly diminished, offering a proactive method to manage the situation.

In summary, the speed of response is pivotal in fire situations involving solar panels. PVStop’s rapid application is instrumental in ensuring the safety of first responders, preventing the escalation of electrical hazards, and strategically containing the fire. By acting promptly, PVStop becomes a crucial component in the toolkit for addressing solar-related emergencies effectively.
