Risks of faulty Solar PV systems


When a Remote Solar Isolator is fitted to your home, anyone may stop the generation of electricity of the solar panels simply by flicking a switch at the meter board or in an emergency, by remotely disconnecting power at the nearest substation. This then provides a SAFE environment for all emergency personnel, tradespeople and you to access the solar PV system and roof knowing that NO lethal voltages are being generated.

Current shut-down procedures DO NOT isolate the solar panels to a safe "Extra Low Voltage they only stop the flow of electricity from the inverter to the meter board. This leaves the solar panels and associated wires live with lethal d.c. Voltage.

Emergency personal around the world are voicing their concerns after experiencing the risks first hand.



"The main hazard to be aware of is that the system can remain live even after it has been isolated, presenting the potential for an electric shock."


As a result in property damage, insurance companies are becoming aware of this problem and are likely to take steps to reduce their liabilities. Take the necessary steps and protect your property by installing a Remote Solar Isolator and make solar safe.

Solar Panel Shocks - a concern of the Fire Service


The fire service again voices their concerns of the risk of potentially lethal DC voltages circulating around all power generating solar panels and associated electrical wiring.

When a  Remote Solar Isolator is fitted to your home, anyone may stop the generation of electricity of the solar panels simply by flicking a switch at the meter board or in an emergency, by remotely disconnecting power at the nearest substation. This then provides a SAFE environment for all emergency personnel, tradespeople and you to access the solar PV system and roof knowing that NO lethal voltages are being generated.

Fire Destroys Clubhouse

“There were solar panels on the roof which meant in effect we still had a live supply of electricity to the building, so we weren’t able to get into the building.It meant the fire developed much more rapidly than we would have liked.”

Another fire where installed solar panels hampers firefighting. Install a RSI to keep everyone safe and allow firefighters to do their job safely. The Remote Solar Isolator provides unrivalled protection to homes during fire, flood, maintenance or storm.



Luckily nobody was hurt as fire destroys clubhouse
