Meanwhile, the incident has prompted calls for from within the solar industry for Australia to mandate the rapid shutdown of rooftop PV systems to make them safer. In solar, rapid shutdown is a safety feature that quickly turns off or reduces the current of a rooftop PV system in case of an accident or emergency. It does this to stop an electrical arc from forming that can cause fires or deliver a lethal electric shock. James Sturch, a technical director at inverter and energy storage giant SolarEdge says Australia lags behind the rest of the world on basic solar system safety measures like these. “Many countries around the world, such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Poland, Thailand, and others have already successively introduced rapid shutdown regulations to solve the safety issues associated with uncontrollable DC in solar PV systems,” Sturch writes on LinkedIn. “Currently in Australia there is nothing in place, or even being considered within the Standards process, or by safety or electrical regulators, which is as backwards as it sounds.”
