Most of PV fire risks can be readily identified and resolved. If not done so promptly, however, they may result in fires, creating a safety hazard and potential liability that can be costly. In this pv magazine Webinar, CEA goes through some of the most common issues found on site and the resulting safety risk potential.
In recent years, fires have played a major role in the US energy landscape. Historically underreported by the U.S. Fire Administration, fires at solar installations rose 36% from 2017 to 2018 alone.
CEA, our partner in producing this webinar, reports that more than 90% of rooftop solar PV projects they have inspected have safety and fire risks that stem from poor installation practices. Most of these risks can be readily identified and resolved. If not done so promptly, however, they may result in fires, creating a safety hazard and potential liability that can be costly.
As a first line of defense, C&I rooftop solar owners should attempt to ensure that installers and O&M providers are qualified, experienced, and certified. But doing your homework at the installation phase is only a start. In this pv magazine Webinar, CEA’s Rogér Balyon, Senior Manager of Engineering Services, will go through some of the most common issues found on site and the resulting safety risk potential.
