Rapid shutdown for solar energy

Rapid shutdown for solar energy

Rapid shutdown is a regulation that requires solar energy systems to have what is essentially a solar panel shut-off switch.

First implemented by the National Electrical Code (NEC) in their 2014 guidelines, rapid shutdown requires your solar system to have a fast and easy way to cut off the electricity running through your system as a safety precaution.

Rapid shutdown requirements are only applicable to roof-mounted solar systems. If you’re planning on installing a ground-mounted solar system, you won’t have to install a rapid shutdown switch.

Thinkwe Firefighter safety switch( Rapid Shutdown ) could shutdown DC high voltage under roof, which protects both the building safety and personal safety of firefighters.
