Firefighter Solar Safety Training at Fronius USA HQ

• Fronius USA leads the way in solar safety education, providing essential training to local firefighters on handling solar power equipment with precision and care.

Fronius USA recently hosted a three-day firefighter solar safety training session at its US headquarters in Indiana. The training focused on educating local fire department officials on the safety features and rapid shutdown procedures for solar power equipment, including PV systems, energy storage, and electronic vehicle chargers. The Solar Solutions Management team at Fronius USA provided technical training to the firefighters, emphasizing the importance of understanding how solar inverters work and how to safely handle solar energy equipment.

Klaus Strassmair, managing director at Fronius USA, expressed the company's commitment to the community and their dedication to providing fire safety instruction to the Portage firefighters. The training included information on Fronius string inverters, commercial rooftop systems, and solar tracker systems. Firefighters were also educated on Fronius Arc Guard technology, which automatically detects arcs in the DC circuit and interrupts faults to ensure photovoltaic system protection. The company looks forward to hosting future trainings with their in-house solar staff to continue supporting the local fire department in solar safety education.
