Abstract :
This paper propose a new system to short circuit a photovoltaic panel, embedded in a photovoltaic string, with the aim to ensure safe operation of firemen in case of fire. The circuit is activated by a wireless command and doesn´t require additional wiring. Moreover it is self powered by the solar panel itself and can be either turned on or turned off in a fully reversible way.
