As the global shift toward renewable energy accelerates, fire detection in photovoltaic installations is gaining new urgency. The latest article in the International Fire Buyer highlights how our distributed fiber optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD) technology is helping to redefine fire safety in these rapidly evolving environments.
PV installations are often decentralized, located in remote or hard-to-access areas, and exposed to a range of environmental conditions. These challenges make early, accurate fire detection critical, but not always easy to achieve.
In the article, one of our recent projects is spotlighted: A major food and beverage manufacturer in Thailand required a reliable fire detection system for multiple PV-equipped sites, each extending up to 6 kilometers. Traditional systems fell short. AP Sensing’s fiber optic LHD provided the necessary coverage, precision, and resilience.
Our solution offers:
Continuous temperature monitoring over long distances
Pinpoint detection for rapid, localized response
Electromagnetic immunity and high durability in harsh conditions
Whether on rooftops, in greenfields, or on floating photovoltaic arrays, our technology is helping operators improve safety, minimize downtime, and protect their renewable energy investments.
