Enphase Energy supports Brazil’s new fire safety standard, NBR 17193, which mandates rapid shutdown functionality for solar installations. The standard aims to reduce fire hazards from high-voltage systems. Enphase’s microinverters convert DC to safe AC at the panel level and provide necessary safety features. Installers in Brazil can access more information on Enphase’s website.
Enphase Energy has expressed support for Brazil’s newly implemented fire safety standard, NBR 17193. This standard mandates stringent safety measures, including rapid shutdown functionality for solar installations across all buildings. The emphasis is on mitigating fire hazards posed by high-voltage direct current components, such as centralized string inverters. Enphase’s microinverter technology addresses these concerns by converting low-voltage direct current from solar panels into safe alternating current, thereby eliminating the necessity for high-voltage systems in residential and commercial deployments.
Furthermore, all Enphase microinverters are equipped with rapid shutdown capabilities, which allow for immediate system de-energization in emergencies. This feature not only safeguards property and individuals but also adheres to established global safety practices for solar systems. The new standard requires that all solar setups in Brazil include these rapid shutdown functionalities before they can connect to the grid. Installers and distributors in Brazil can find additional information about the standard on the Enphase website.
In summary, Enphase Energy endorses Brazil’s NBR 17193 safety standard for solar installations, which introduces critical rapid shutdown requirements. This initiative aims to enhance fire safety by reducing high-voltage risks associated with solar technologies. Enphase’s microinverter solutions are inherently aligned with these safety goals, supporting essential features that protect properties and individuals, thus reflecting best practices in solar energy safety.
