Sungrow: Ultra solar system at a private home

Date:

JOHANNESBURG – As load shedding continues to plague South Africa, homeowners are being urged to opt for ultra-safe solar systems as a reliable backup power source.

More households across South Africa have been turning to solar energy for backup power, but a recent incident involving a significant fire on the roof of a building in Century City has raised concerns and highlighted the importance of solar installation safety.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, but the incident has served as a stark reminder of the need for secure solar installations. Daniel, a resident of Cape Town, expressed his apprehensions, saying, “The fire made us worry about installing a solar system at home. We are willing to deal with load shedding by consuming clean electricity, but we need highly secure products. I don’t want to put my family and house at any risk.”

Statistics indicate that more than 80 percent of fire accidents in solar projects are caused by direct current (DC) side faults, with DC arcs being the primary culprit. Once a DC arc is generated, it can easily lead to a fire.

Sungrow, an officially approved inverter brand, is committed to ensuring an ultra-safe solar-powered family life. Renowned as a global leader in the clean energy field, Sungrow operates in over 150 countries worldwide and holds the title of the No.1 photovoltaic (PV) inverter supplier globally in terms of shipment.

For the growing demand for residential solar installations worldwide, Sungrow’s residential solutions are known for their safety, reliability, and high efficiency, performing well in key international markets like Europe, America, and Australia.

Sungrow’s advanced arc-fault circuit-interrupter (AFCI) system boasts a 99.9 percent accuracy rate in detecting arcs, significantly enhancing fire detection capabilities in your home.

To achieve an ultra-secure solar system, homeowners can opt for the SP600S power optimizer, which facilitates module-level rapid shutdown and ensures a safe DC voltage throughout the lifespan of the PV power plant. In case of an emergency, such as a fire, the optimizer automatically shuts down relevant modules within 20 seconds, surpassing general requirements by 10 seconds, thus ensuring the safety of firefighters and minimizing or avoiding losses for homeowners.
