AI Customer ServiceThe solar industry welcomes clarity on how to minimise fire risk from solar PV systems, which in absolute terms is extremely low. “The core way to mitigate any risk is to ensure the highest possible quality in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of solar systems.
In order to minimize the risks of fire accidents in large scale applications of solar panels, this review focuses on the latest techniques for reducing hot spot effects and DC arcs. The risk mitigation solutions mainly focus on two aspects: structure reconfiguration and faulty diagnosis algorithm.
This paper set out to review peer reviewed studies and reports on PV system fire safety to identify real fires in PV panel systems and to notice possible errors within PV panel system elements which could increase the pre-existing fire risk. The fire incidents in PV panel systems were classified based on fire origin.

Studies on photovoltaic modules have mainly focused on improving productivity and performance, while no study has viewed the impact of the use of BAPV and BIPV systems on the overall fire safety of a building. There is not enough literature regarding fire scenarios addressing various types of PV systems, which can be installed on buildings.
Since not all the causes of shading are controllable or reduced (e.g. by periodical and planed PV maintenance to avoid dust accumulation), more research attention needs to be directed at the fire safety aspect of PV faults. 3.1.3. Electrical It is stated that PV arrays have unique fault scenarios, which differ from the traditional power sources.
