With the PowerStop Corrente, enwitec presents the further development of the proven “PV Remote Shutdown”.
This system was specifically developed to meet the strict requirements of the new Italian fire protection directive (valid from 01.09.2025).
Unlike previous systems, which often only disconnected the PV generators from the inverter, the PowerStop Corrente offers a holistic approach.
It is a modular system that offers maximum flexibility for the installer and guaranteed conformity for the system operator. It is the answer to the complex question: “How do I really switch everything off in the event of a fire?”
The core task of the PowerStop Corrente is the complete electrical isolation of the customer’s electrical system from all energy feeders. In an emergency (activation of the emergency stop or triggering by the fire alarm system), the system isolates the building electrically.
It isolates not only the photovoltaics, but all power generators (“corrente”):
The result: a guaranteed voltage-free building for the emergency services at a marked, easily accessible location.
Thanks to the modular design of the PSUs (Power Shutdown Units) and the cascadable RSU (Remote Shutdown Unit), enwitec covers the entire market:
Market focus: Primarily for Italy (mandatory compliance with new standard), but can be used without restriction throughout the EU for projects with increased safety requirements.
For wholesalers and installers, the PowerStop Corrente offers decisive advantages over DIY solutions:
Complies exactly with point 3.3.5.2 of the new Italian directive. No discussions during acceptance.
The RSU not only monitors the switch position (on/off), but also the status of the overvoltage protection (SPD).
The system is based on closed-circuit current monitoring. A cable break in the control line leads to automatic switch-off (fail-safe).
One RSU controls up to 10 PSUs. Flexible combination of AC and DC units.
There is currently (as of the end of 2024) no comparable product that meets these standards so comprehensively “out of the box”. With the PowerStop Corrente, you offer your customers:

The enwitec PowerStop Corrente is more than just a technical component – it is the strategic answer to the stricter fire protection requirements in Italy and Europe.
While the competition is still looking for solutions, we already offer our customers a certified, modular system that is guaranteed to separate all energy sources.
Don’t wait until the directive comes into force.
