Fire Detection for Rooftop, Greenfield and Floating Solar Panels

Solar energy is playing an increasingly vital role in  the transition to clean and renewable energy sources  worldwide, driven by its growing affordability and  accessibility. However, safety concerns such as  overheating solar panels, defective cables, and faulty  connectors can pose serious risks to industrial sites  and the surrounding environment and infrastructure. Rooftop fires present a unique challenge for  emergency responders, as smoke may be drawn into  the building’s HVAC system, distributing it throughout  the facility. Prompt  and effective fire mitigation strategies are crucial to  managing these potential hazards and ensuring safety.

The implementation of the fiber optic Liner Heat  Detection (fiber optic LHD) system for a major, globally  operating food and beverage manufacturer in Thailand  effectively addresses the unique challenges of fire detection in large-scale solar panel PV installations. Our advanced linear heat detection technologies are highly adaptable and can be customized to meet the specific needs of each site - whether it’s covering vast greenfield areas, maneuvering complex rooftop cabling, or ensuring safety on floating platforms. By providing precise location tracking and real-time data collection, the solution delivers continuous, reliable monitoring at all five sites.
