Nigel Day of Energie Solutions in Ransomes Europark installs solar panels and air source heat pumps and also carries out services and renewals on renewable energy technologies. Solar systems have been turned off at county schools while inspections are carried out. The blaze broke out at Sidegate Primary School in Ipswich on June 24, while more than 650 pupils and more than 100 staff were on site, forcing a full evacuation. He argues that because of this the solar panels can't be "isolated" or "turned off" in the same way as other appliances. “All solar panels have been switched off as a precautionary measure and specialists are now undertaking a review of all panels, including their cabling and connections.
