Question 1:
Incidents involving Photovoltaic (PV) systems will require firefighters to make adjustments similar to those made with other types of electrical equipment. From the choices listed below, select the most correct procedure for your firefighters to follow when encountering a PV system.

A: When a PV array covers a large portion of the roof it leaves little room for members to maneuver and operate. Members can cut wires and remove the necessary panels only after shutting off the switch at the main electrical panel

B: For a top floor fire, in a non-fireproof building, Ladder Company operations should be directed toward removing PV array panels for saw operations

C: Using water on energized PV systems components is a decision that should only be made by the Company Officer after careful size-up

D:After receiving permission on using water on energized PV systems components, a fog nozzle shall be utilized from a distance, and set at a 30 degree spray pattern to prevent electric current from traveling upstream towards members operating hoselines

A

D Explanation:
AUC 351
A- Members must NEVER cut any wires associated with a PV array. Shutting off power at the main electrical panel does not ensure that all power to the building has been removed. This holds true for opening PV disconnect (isolation) switches which can be located : on the roof, next to the main electrical panel, adjacent to the inverter, nearby the charge controller, in the battery bank area, and outside the building….6.1
B- For top floor/ cockloft fires in non-fireproof buildings where fire is beneath the PV array, roof venting operations, including the use of power saws, may not be possible. Ladder Company operations should be directed toward opening ceilings to define the boundaries of the fire…6.3
C- IC, not the Company Officer….6.4
D- 6.4……straight streams or foam should not be used since they are excellent conductors
