BPE Firefighter Safety Switch for Rooftop PV Systems
The BPE Firefighter Safety Switch is designed to offer maximum protection for firefighters and first responders in emergency situations. As a PV string level firefighter safety switch, it provides essential electrical isolation for rooftop solar systems. The DC disconnect shift warrants the mechanical and electrical isolation in the event of a fault, creating a safe space for firefighters and protecting them from DC electric shock. If a firefighter disconnects the AC power to your home, the switch will open the circuit and disconnect the DC power coming from the PV panels off the roof.
