Safer Solar Power Installation

Solar power arrays carry substantial amounts of electrical power. While their safety record is extremely good, unusual situations (such as component failures, fires or other accidents) have the potential to create situations where repair crews or emergency personnel can be exposed to hazardous current from individual panels or strings.

Not with Parallel Solar. Each vBoost module continuously monitors the array's power bus for the presence of a functioning inverter. If no inverter is present, the vBoost shuts down so that no power is fed from the panel onto the DC bus. No operator intervention is needed.

So should the central inverter fail, or a fire or earthquake damage the array's wiring, repair crews can work around the array with a far higher degree of safety than with traditional series-wired systems.
