Problem

Compromised solar PV systems pose life-threatening electrical and fire risks, endangering lives, property, and emergency responders

Solar PV systems generate dangerous DC electricity when exposed to light. This electricity is hard to detect, making it particularly hazardous. Aging, damaged, or poorly maintained PV installations increase fire risks, while uncontrolled DC electricity jeopardises first responders’ safety. These dangers threaten lives, property, and business operations, severely hindering emergency personnel’s ability to effectively manage and mitigate risks at incidents involving solar PV systems.

Solution

PVSTOP rapidly deactivates solar PV systems, ensuring safety while protecting lives and property

PVSTOP rapidly and safely deactivates solar PV systems by applying a “liquid tarpaulin” coating to the panels, blocking light and stopping DC electricity generation within seconds, effectively de-energising the entire PV system. After application, the dried coating can be peeled off without damaging the PV system and disposed of as general waste. PVSTOP is effective on all solar PV installation types, ensuring safety, minimising property damage, and protecting first responders and PV system owners.

Simple solution to a Complex issue

The PVSTOP coating is applied to solar panels, blocking the light and rendering the solar PV system electrically safe.

Spray

Spray PVSTOP onto solar panels from up to 10m/30ft away; even partial (40%) coverage immediately breaks the circuit, safely de-energizing the PV system by stopping power generation.

Shield

Once applied, the PVSTOP coating dries into a protective, non-flammable film which can later be peeled off the solar panels without damaging the solar PV system.

Save

With the electrical risks removed, first responders are now safe to focus on saving lives and saving properties.

PVSTOP Solar Safety Guide

Everything you need to know about PVSTOP and when to use it.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

When to use PVSTOP

PVSTOP can be applied before an electrical event escalates into a fire incident, during an incident, or after an incident to mitigate the risk of a secondary fire developing.

PREVENTATIVE APPLICATION

Restore Safety and Security On-Site with PVSTOP

  • Apply PVSTOP as a proactive measure when panels are damaged or hotspots are detected.

  • Ensure the safety of solar PV equipment at the first signs of smoking or arcing.

  • Protect against imminent risks such as hailstorms or wildfires.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Rapidly Deploy PVSTOP to Mitigate First Responder Risk

  • Deploy PVSTOP during fire incidents where the solar PV system is the ignition source.

  • Even if the PV system is not the ignition source, PVSTOP is crucial for deactivating PV arrays, ensuring first responder safety.


  • Mitigate PV system risks in any scenario requiring electrical isolation with PVSTOPs proven performance.

POST-INCIDENT MITIGATION

Restore Safety and Stability with PVSTOP After an Event

  • Utilise PVSTOP after nighttime incidents to prevent secondary fires where damaged solar PV equipment can re-energise with daylight.

  • De-energise cracked and shattered solar panels following hail or storm damage to mitigate fire risk.

  • Ensure safety on the incident ground for fire or insurance investigators with PVSTOP’s protective application.
