Morning Gathering Unites Solar Installers Across the Province
On the morning of June 30, professionals from across the province gathered at FEMPA facilities for a focused exploration of daytime photovoltaic installations on rooftops. The event, organized by FEMPA in collaboration with Iberdrola, brought together industry leaders to share the latest advancements shaping self-generated solar energy and its practical applications for homes and businesses. The day emphasized practical steps for achieving effective self-consumption.
The conference drew executives and technical experts from FEMPA, Iberdrola, INVASSAT, and SPRINTER. They addressed the most common questions and concerns about the installation, ongoing maintenance, available assistance, and preventative measures associated with solar systems. Attendees left with a clearer understanding of best practices and regulatory considerations guiding rooftop solar projects.
Today, it is widely recognized that users can actively power their own spaces with energy produced by solar panels at no ongoing energy cost. The session highlighted how rooftop solar is becoming a mainstream option for households and commercial properties alike, driven by rising electricity prices, policy updates, and government incentives designed to accelerate renewable adoption. This shift has prompted a noticeable uptick in rooftop installations and, with it, a greater focus on safety and risk management for workers and building occupants alike.
Several risk factors were discussed, including the potential for falling objects, slips from elevated work areas, prolonged sun exposure, insect bites, forced stops, and the risk of electric shocks. The importance of using personal protective equipment and collective protection measures was stressed, alongside careful planning, thorough training, and clear information sharing for teams working at height or on sloped roofs. The aim is to advance toward the goal of a safer, more reliable solar deployment while maintaining high productivity and minimal disruption to ongoing operations. [CITATION: FEMPA, Iberdrola]
Throughout the day, emphasis was placed on quality education, digital transformation, professional competence, and ongoing innovation. Attendees explored how new tools, data analytics, and remote monitoring can improve system performance, reduce downtime, and support rapid response to any issues that arise on site. The discussions reinforced the belief that safety and efficiency can go hand in hand, especially in projects that involve working at height and handling equipment on sloped roof surfaces.
At the close of formal sessions, an interactive area was opened where participants could engage directly with speakers and organizers. This setup encouraged spontaneous conversations, additional demonstrations, and personalized guidance for specific project scenarios. Attendees left with actionable insight into project planning, risk assessment, and the practical steps needed to implement rooftop solar more effectively. More information is available at the organization’s official portal. [CITATION: FEMPA, Iberdrola]
With continued interest in rooftop solar rising, industry partnerships and ongoing training programs are likely to expand in the coming months. The collaboration between FEMPA and leading energy providers reflects a shared commitment to safety, innovation, and accessible renewable energy for communities across the region. The event underscored the practical benefits of self-consumption technology and the supportive ecosystem required to scale rooftop solar responsibly and efficiently.
For those seeking further details, the above topics highlight how municipal and regional programs can support installations while ensuring worker safety and compliance with evolving standards. The emphasis on education, planning, and protective measures remains central to achieving reliable, user-generated solar energy. [CITATION: FEMPA, INVASSAT]
