On 29^th May, Nik Rus represented FRISSBE and ZAG at a partner and client event organised by Solvera Lynx, held at their premises with around 45 attendees from various parts of the energy and infrastructure industry.

Solvera Lynx is a consortium partner in the SONELEKT project, whose activities and results are supported and funded by the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia (MORS) and the Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (URSZR), as part of the research, development, and innovation project addressing risks associated with the installation of solar power plants on existing structures and the preventive measures that can be taken to mitigate them.

The event brought together partners and clients of Solvera Lynx to showcase examples of their activities and capabilities, and covered a broad range of topics at the intersection of energy systems, smart buildings, and sustainability. Presentations addressed the role of batteries, demand response, and aggregation in delivering flexibility to electrical grids, the use of HVAC systems, building automation, and energy management in the transition from energy-inefficient to smart buildings, CO₂ reduction strategies in industrial settings, and the complex tracking of electricity consumption across trains and buildings at a cross-country European level. The day also featured a presentation on new features in the GemaLogic platform, Solvera Lynx's advanced consulting and energy analysis tool.

Nik Rus was invited to present on the fire safety of photovoltaic systems, delivering a talk in Slovenian entitled "Ko požar doleti sončno elektrarno: kaj deluje in kaj ne" ("When fire hits a solar power plant: what works and what does not"), drawing on experimental findings from FRISSBE's ongoing research programme on rooftop PV fire safety. The presentation offered the audience of energy industry professionals a grounded, evidence-based perspective on the fire risks that accompany the rapid deployment of solar installations, and on what experimental science tells us about which protective measures are effective and which are not.

The event reflected the growing relevance of fire safety expertise within broader conversations about the energy transition, and FRISSBE's participation in SONELEKT continues to place the team at the heart of this increasingly important intersection between renewable energy and fire risk.
