At Siam Craft Industry’s paper manufacturing facility in Thailand, a large-scale solar PV array spanning the entire roof of its PM16 building required a solution capable of detecting overheating panels, electrical faults and inverter issues before they could escalate into a fire. The site worked with Bandweaver partner Ensys Motors and Drives to set up a FireLaser Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system that monitors the temperature of 1,850 metres of solar panels in real time. If the temperature goes above a certain level, the inverter will automatically shut down.
Discover how distributed fiber optic sensing delivered continuous hotspot detection, precise fault location and resilient fire protection across a large rooftop solar installation, helping safeguard both critical assets and operational continuity.
