Brandoni Solare Presents The Safety Device ESMOLO MPS For Photovoltaic Modules

Castelfidardo (AN), ITALY (ots) - Realized in collaboration with
the Swiss company Esmolo Ltd and tested from the engineer of a
wealthy Swiss University, the Esmolo MPS system disables the
generation of energy from each module in case of fire, it controls
the temperature of the system and protects the modules from damages
caused by lightning.

Brandoni Solare Spa brings to the 2011 Edition of Intersolar an
important innovation in the field of the photovoltaic module
"safety". It is one of the first company to provide its customers, in
addition to photovoltaic modules, with a device that ensures high
standards of protection of the modules.

This is the Esmolo MPS system (Module Protection System) that
allows to disable the generation of energy from each module in case
of fire. The current ministerial discussions on the encouragement of
photovoltaic will lead to a drastic reduction of photovoltaic system
installed on the ground and a considerable increase in installation
of modules covering the roofs of industrial buildings. Inside the
industrial buildings, in facts, take often place activities subject
to C.P.I. (fire prevention certificate).

On May 26, 2010 the Fire Department issued the circular letter
ref. 5158 "Guide for installation of photovoltaic system"
recommending that the PV systems in activities subject to fire
prevention inspections by the Fire Department are equipped with a
disconnecting device under load, operated by remote control placed in
a marked and accessible location so as to secure every part of the
electrical system within the fire compartment, also to the
photovoltaic generator .From the point of view of safety, is
impossible to put the system out of tension in presence of sunlight,
where the ends of the strings of photovoltaic modules, continue to be
always present in high voltage direct current.

Thanks to a collaboration with the Swiss company Esmolo Ltd,
Brandoni Solare found a solution to this problem. The MPS system
consists of an intelligent electronic integrated inside the junction
box installed in the module and it allows to control the temperature
of it. If you exceed the limits set in the system, the electronic can
short-circuit the electronic module.

The MPS system has another important feature, it protects the
modules from overvoltages and damages caused by lightning.

AS A FURTHER OPTION, THE SYSTEM CAN BE ALSO ANTI-THEFT, THE
SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY ENSURES THE PROTECTION OF THE SOLAR MODULES, FROM
THOSE WHO INTENTIONALLY TRY TO REMOVE THEM FROM THEIR ORIGINAL
POSITION, ESSENTIAL PREROGATIVE TO LET THE SYSTEM ALARM.

The system can be installed, on request, in every module produced
by Brandoni Solare Spa. It was developed and tested thoroughly thanks
to a close collaboration with a Swiss University. The synergy between
Brandoni Solare and Esmolo Ltd is a synonymous of collaboration in
terms of innovation which aims to achieve important goals for growth.
