For first responders

Solar safety training for first responders

Built for the field. When a crew arrives at a property with a live PV system, the wrong assumption is dangerous — we make sure your people know exactly what they’re looking at.

The short version

Solar is on more roofs every year, which means first responders are meeting live PV systems on the job far more often. Unlike the rest of a building’s power, a solar array can stay energised in daylight even when the main supply is cut — and batteries add another layer to think about.

Our sessions are built specifically for firefighters, police, and emergency personnel. We cover the real hazards, the components that matter, and safe approach and shutdown procedures — with practical demonstrations on real hardware and a plain-English approach. No filler, no jargon, just the essentials that make a difference when it counts.

We come to your station or venue and tailor the session to your crew and the kinds of incidents you attend.

What we cover

Practical knowledge for the situations crews actually face.

System components

What the panels, inverter, isolators, and wiring are — and how they behave during an incident.

Hazards

The real electrical and fire risks of a PV system, and the myths that need clearing up.

Safe approach & isolation

How to approach a solar-equipped property and where the isolation points are.

Batteries & storage

What energy-storage systems add to the picture and how to factor them in.

Real hardware

Hands-on demonstrations with actual equipment, not just slides.

Scenario walk-throughs

Talk-throughs of realistic situations so the knowledge sticks.
