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.
