Jim Foran is founder and CEO of PVStop International Pty Ltd, a company that is pioneering renewable energy and new technology safety. Jim has over 20 years experience in senior sales, marketing and operational roles with some of the world’s largest brands, lectured on renewable energy safety in 14 countries and holds qualifications in both business and fire engineering. Jim is passionate about renewable energy and improving firefighter safety. PVStop is the only solution (globally) that safely isolates the power produced by solar panels. The product  eliminates the risk of high voltage DC electrocution by acting as a “liquid tarpaulin” shutting down the solar PV system in seconds. This problem poses a significant safety risk recognised by fire and emergency services agencies around the world. In professional terms this risk is known as the “DC Danger Zone” and up until now, there has been no practical solution to this globally recognised problem.
