Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels catch fire?

Whilst the risk of solar panel systems catching fire is extremely low, like any other technology that produces electricity, they can catch fire.

Are solar panels a fire hazard?

Even though there are no clear statistics on fires caused by rooftop PV systems in the United States, a solar system suddenly bursting into flames is rare. Based on a report detailing fire risks in Germany, 48% of solar panel-related fires are caused by the system itself.

Are solar panel fires common?

Remarkably, solar panel system fires are rare. Nevertheless, many homeowners and business owners like to be informed of all the risks, including solar panel fires. It is essential to note that even though you can install solar panels properly and in compliance with the current safety codes, solar fires do happen.

Can a solar panel fire damage a building?

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.
