Our muti-layer safety features are built-in, not added-on third party products

  • safe DC
    SafeDC
    SafeDC™ is a built-in module-level safety feature that minimizes the risk of electrocution from high DC voltage. It ensures DC voltage is reduced to touch-safe levels when the inverter is shut down, within up to five minutes, enabling safe maintenance and emergency intervention. 
  • Rapid Shutdown
    Rapid Shutdown

    Rapid shutdown allows fast discharge of conductors to 1 V, within 30 seconds. The power in the modules and string wires are automatically reduced so firefighters or first responders can work safely during daylight.

  • Arc Fault Detection and Prevention-1
    Arc Fault Detection and Prevention
    Arc fault detection and prevention mitigates the effects of arcing faults that may pose a risk of fire under certain conditions. Electric arcs are detected and terminated through automatic inverter shutdown for string lengths up to 400m.
  • Built-in Temperature Monitoring
    Sense Connect
    Thermal sensors proactively monitor and detect faulty wiring that can potentially cause overheating connections or electric arcs.
  • Modul-level Monitoring
    Module-Level Monitoring
    Module-level monitoring provides real-time insight that acts as an early-warning system with automatic alerts and notifications on system issues. Preventative maintenance using remote diagnostics can be performed well in advance of any significant event. It’s easy to access from a computer, smartphone or tablet.
