Hopkinson, R. F.

The 100-kWp solar photovoltaic power system at Natural Bridges National Monument is a unique electrical power-generation system and special safety guidelines have been developed to govern its operation. General safety requirements have been set forth to safeguard newcomers to the PV system at Natural Bridges National Monument. Procedures to be used in event of emergency, including a recommended shutdown procedure, are included together with specific safety hazards inherent in the array field, battery room, control room, and inverter room. It is the intention of this book to inform guides for visitors, operators, and maintenance personnel of the nature of these safety hazards and to detail means of effectively dealing with them.
