Chuck McCune, CEO of McCune Works Inc. and its subsidiary McCune Solar Works, LLC, announced today a new in-expensive family of Patent Pending safety devices – potential Voltage and Hazard Stop System for licensing & distribution under the Trademark PV Stoptm.
PV Stoptm provides a failsafe, status verifiable, method for first responders and maintenance workers to shut off all potential energy hazards in any residential, commercial or industrial facility. PV Stoptm switches off all solar panels at the panels in order to provide a higher degree of fire scene safety for first responders. Fire fighters no longer need consider blanketing solar panels so as to allow water streaming and roof cutting in attacking a fire without concern for the potential voltage present.
The PV Stop function is initiated by any signal available, remote or on site, or by actual emergency stop button on the central unit. Solar installers can handle PV panel installations without concern for any hot leads as they handle the panels in sunlight. In addition PV Stoptm shuts off any and all PV Stoptm enabled potential hazards including but not limited to – Grid supplied voltage, solar PV/CSP panels, backup generators, battery banks, wind turbines, gas, process piping, vehicles, machinery, appliances, or any other utilization equipment.
There are no building layout or distance limitations to the functioning of the system. Several municipalities across the US are in consultation with the company on requiring such devices in all new solar, wind and alternative power installations, and, subsequently in all new construction. The prototypes have been 100% successful in company testing and new features are now being added to the system. PV Stoptm devices will be licensed to electrical device and equipment manufacturers of all the products with which the system proves effective.
"We dedicate PV Stoptm to all fallen/injured first responders, disaster victims, friends and families. 1% of all PV Stoptm proceeds will be donated to selected nonprofit disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts worldwide." sadi Chuck McCune.
