At Bow + Arc Developments, we are committed to acquiring, developing, and operating design-led properties that cater to a forward-thinking generation across South Africa. When LTV Technologies introduced us to their PV Safety solutions and their comprehensive PV EvacuPlan, we were impressed by the level of detail and the forward-looking approach they provided.
The PV EvacuPlan offers a well-structured, step-by-step guide that complements standard evacuation plans, specifically addressing the risks associated with PV installations. This tailored solution ensures that all essential information—such as emergency contacts and system specifications—is centralized in one document, crucial for efficient action during emergencies. The plan’s focus on having a dedicated PV Safety Officer on-site to liaise between installers, maintenance teams, and emergency services is invaluable, particularly in scenarios involving fire risks or exposure to the DC Danger Zone of PV modules.
While the PV EvacuPlan doesn’t replace existing regulations or evacuation protocols, it serves as an essential add-on that enhances safety and preparedness for properties with solar installations. The clear and practical guidance it provides is unmatched in helping us understand the unique risks posed by PV systems.
We strongly recommend that developers, property owners, schools, hospitals, old age homes, prisons, and body corporates with PV installations consider integrating the PV EvacuPlan into their existing safety frameworks. LTV Technologies not only brings this exceptional resource to the table but also offers broader solutions to help mitigate risks associated with solar PV systems.
