“As in many places, the island of Martha’s Vineyard has seen a rapid expansion of the installation of PV systems and ESS over the past few years. The changing technology and growth of the industry made it necessary for the island fire fighters to have updated information for safely working around these systems. Tony Granato from Energy Response Solutions presentation provided the necessary knowledge for operational readiness during emergencies. We are much better prepared for the eventual response to an incident that includes a PV/ ESS system.”

-Nelson Wirtz, Fire-EMS Chief Oak Bluffs Fire-EMS Department, Martha’s Vineyard

“A great big Mahalo to you for your efforts to deliver each class with enthusiasm and energy; it was very well received, very well evaluated, and very much appreciated by all our personnel. We don’t have to sell you on the fact that Honolulu is exploding with PV installations and the important impact your delivery will have on our department for years to come.”

—James Perkins, Operations Chief Honolulu Fire Department

“We worked with Mr. Granato to host a seminar focusing on incident response at solar facilities for the volunteer firefighters and first responders we work with. Tony’s approach in combining his decades firefighting expertise with his electrical knowledge made the seminar accessible and engaging for all attendees.

His ability to translate technical information into practical strategies was particularly impressive. The seminar included real-world scenarios, which were not only informative and fostered a better understanding of the practical aspects of incident management. Anthony's engagement with the attendees was a highlight of the seminar – participants reported that it was very informative.

Tony’s insights will continue to be crucial in working collaboratively with local volunteer fire departments to enhance their preparedness. We highly recommend Tony Granato, whose knowledge and teaching have contributed to our team's and the fire departments' knowledge and confidence.”
