The aim of this article is to provide a summary of the known or potential safety hazards from fires due to, or involving photovoltaic (PV) systems. See, for example, Grant (2010) and CFPA (2012). Fires involving these systems can present some unique challenges for the fire service, building occupiers and insurers. Evidence is emerging from Europe and North America of the potential for fire hazards associated, directly or indirectly, with renewable energy power generating systems such as photovoltaics and wind turbines. One of the most popular, in particular in the domestic market, is production of electricity from solar energy using photovoltaic panels, and, encouraged by government incentives, the numbers of these systems in use has rapidly grown in recent years.Īll new technologies can introduce new risks, and all new energy-handling systems can introduce new fire risks. BackgroundĪlong with many other countries in the world, the UK is seeking to increase the proportion of energy that is obtained from 'renewable' sources, such as those that exploit wind, biomass or solar energy.
