Are building related PV systems a fire hazard?In 2017, a detailed report about fire incidents involving building related PV systems was published by the BRE National Solar Centre. According to this report (BRE 2017a), 58 fire incidents involving building related PV systems were reported since 2010 compared to a total of around 1 million PV systems installed in the UK.
Are photovoltaic systems dangerous to firefighters?A joint industry study carried out in Germany (Fraunhofer ISE 2017) concluded that photovoltaic systems do not pose any special threat to firefighters, as long as the firefighters comply with the safety clearances. PV systems can be handled in the same way as any other electrically live equipment.
How many fires are involving PV systems in the UK?According to this report (BRE 2017a), 58 fire incidents involving building related PV systems were reported since 2010 compared to a total of around 1 million PV systems installed in the UK. This is equivalent to 0.0058% of all installed PV systems in the UK.
Do PV systems cause fires?Similar to the results of Germany (see Chapter 2.1), the analysis of the fire incidents involving building related PV systems for the UK showed that, next to external error sources, most of the errors that lead to a fire incident are due to installation failure on the DC-side of the PV system.
