Making solar Energy Safe

About us

► The Problem
 When exposed to light, solar panels cannot be turned off. This presents a risk during maintenance or emergency situations. PV Stop solves this problem; it is the only reactive solution that switches off solar panels, ensuring that both rescue personnel and the public are safe in any instances where solar panels need to be made safe. ► The Solution
 PV Stop is a non-flammable fire retardant, polymer film technology. It acts as a “liquid blanket” that non-destructively shuts down photovoltaic panels in seconds. As the only reactive fire retardant solution on the global market capable of deactivating photovoltaic panels in all weather conditions, PV Stop eliminates the risk of high voltage DC electrocution. Once applied you can peel PV Stop off solar panels up to 12 months after application without damaging the photovoltaic panels. With the exponential growth of solar installations in Australia and across the globe. PV Stop is the only solution to solar panel safety. ► The Team
 With a team that has extensive experience in the design and installation of photovoltaic energy systems, we are committed to making solar power a more viable and safe option across the world. ► The Mission With over 1 billion solar panels installed globally, we’re committed to real solutions to real problems.

    Thank you for sharing this crucial information, PVSTOP MÉXICO! You're absolutely right - conventional fire extinguishers are not designed for solar panel fires. PVSTOP's unique formulation is specifically engineered to safely and effectively de-energize and suppress fires in photovoltaic systems. We're proud to offer a solution that addresses this critical safety gap in the solar industry. For anyone interested in learning more about the differences between PVSTOP and traditional fire extinguishers, we highly recommend reading the detailed comparison on PVSTOP Mexico's website. Keep up the great work in educating the public about solar safety! #SolarSafety #PVSTOPTechnology #InnovationInFireSafety

    A #SolarPV #Fire broke out on August 2nd within Loampit Vale, Lewisham in #London The incident was under control not long after London Fire Brigade turned up and extinguished the fire, with no causalities reported. LFB also deployed PVSTOP to prevent the risk of #high voltage #DC to first responders and preventing #Arcing. It is understood that the building is relatively new and the roof construction is a flat roof - ballasted based system. Fire investigators are still investigating the cause of fire, however it is confirmed that it is associated to #Solar #Photovoltaic . We know Solar PV often changes the fire dynamics whilst mounted on a roof. I hope there wasn't any structural damage (including water damage), allowing occupants to get back into the property.
