Enphase Energy, a US–based energy technology company, has reported feedback from firefighters who participated in its Solar and Fire Education (SAFE) training program on PV system design and emergency response. The SAFE program is intended to improve firefighter familiarity with PV system configurations and support safer emergency response as solar adoption continues to grow. According to the company, survey responses were collected from hundreds of firefighters across multiple US states after they completed hands-on SAFE training sessions. Enphase Energy stated that more than 98% of participants said they would recommend microinverter-based PV systems. The feedback reflects firefighters’ understanding of system architecture and how PV systems behave during emergency situations. The company explained that microinverter-based systems convert direct current to alternating current at the module level, which eliminates long, high-voltage DC runs on rooftops. Enphase Energy also stated that its systems include panel-level rapid shutdown functionality required under the National Electrical Code, without the need for additional external components.
