LZY's photovoltaic power plant is designed to maximize ease of operation. It not only transports the PV equipment, but can also be deployed on site. It is based on a 10 - 40 foot shipping container. Efficient hydraulics help get the solar panels ready quickly.
The National Electric Code outlines the required minimum distances between live electrical parts and firefighting equipment to prevent electric shock. Firefighters should also be aware that roof surfaces with PV modules can be slippery, increasing the risk of falls during operations.
This research is being used to develop new standards for PV hazard controls to protect firefighters, including the electrical resistance of personal protection equipment based on factors like physical body composition and the degree of moisture on the skin and, to avoid shock, electrical pathways that could be encountered.
