As a result, the regulatory framework for these installations is lagging behind, leading to greater consequences in the event of a fire and making it more difficult for the fire brigade to extinguish it.<\/p>\n<p>After interviewing insurance companies and fire brigades, we have designed a fire brigade switch to facilitate the risk assessment that takes place before the extinguishing work or rescue operation begins.<\/p>\n<p>We at INKOM have developed a security system for larger centralized photovoltaic installations on roofs and ground.
