Seeking safe technology and solutions for rooftop solar system
To provide updates on the latest fire prevention technology and solutions for rooftop solar, SP Group, SolarEdge, and Unitek Trading Co., Ltd. (Unitek) will collaborate to organise the seminar Safe Investment Plan for Rooftop Solar Systems – Fire Prevention for Businesses in Ha Nam province on April 12.
The demand for renewable energy and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2025 have prompted many businesses to invest in rooftop solar power, especially in industrial and export processing zones. Rooftop solar systems not only help businesses save costs, but also enjoy tax incentives for exports, thereby enhancing their competitive edge in the international market.
However, installing such a system also carries operational risks. Cases of fire and explosions have occurred, causing serious harm to people and property. Ensuring fire and explosion safety is a major challenge for businesses, so sustainable technological solutions and mechanisms are needed to prevent risks during the use.
In order to provide partners and customers with a comprehensive understanding of the rooftop solar market in 2023, as well as information on selection, operation, and fire prevention, the seminar will be held at Muong Thanh Ha Nam Luxury hotel on April 12.
