You might be surprised by what I found. Yes, solar panels can cause fires. Most fire incidents linked to solar systems arise from faulty designs, shoddy installation, or malfunctioning components. But here’s the silver lining: these fires are few and far between. And better yet, with the right precautions, they can be easily avoided.
Planning and design issues can also add to the risk of solar panel fires, causing damage to not just the PV installation, but the building on which they are mounted. An example of this would be a PV system being installed on a combustible/partially combustible roof, with no fire-resistant covering.
The temperature of shaded, contaminated cells can be up to 40-50 • C higher than that of clean cells, which can cause fire accidents [1, 2]. This research examined the concentration at which each pollutant can cause a temperature rise and the extent to which the lifespan of permanently polluted panels decreases.
This hazard grows if the support beams are weakened during a fire. The modules could also fall during the fire, endangering both inhabitants and first responders. Be careful during the designing process and consult with the structural engineer if necessary. Always inform firefighters of the presence of a PV system on the roof. 4.
