The guidelines provided by EvacuPlan are developed by specialists in PV safety, including our partners in prevention and mitigation and leaders in PV product development. We have identified a gap in current evacuation plans concerning PV module and backup system installations. Our guidelines aim to address the dangers associated with the DC danger zone that comes with PV installations.
Please Note:
- No Current Regulations:
As of now, there are no specific regulations regarding evacuation plans for PV systems. Our guidelines serve as a supplementary tool to existing evacuation plans, highlighting the unique risks and safety protocols related to PV installations. - Scope of Guidelines:
While regulations and compliance for commissioning a PV system exist and contribute to overall safety, they do not cover the specific procedures and risks associated with emergencies, particularly fires, that directly or indirectly involve PV systems. - Purpose of Guidelines:
Our guidelines are designed not only to comply with the best safety protocols for de-energizing PV systems during emergencies but also to educate end users. They emphasize the importance of taking responsibility for maintenance, fostering good relationships with emergency services, and ensuring that all parties implement and practice these procedures as required by evacuation regulations.

- The guidelines provided by EvacuPlan should be used as a reference to enhance existing evacuation plans and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice or official regulations.
