Technical FAQs 4

How do you protect a solar system from a fire?

On the surface, the process seems simple, however, there are many steps required to ensure safety. Firefighters arrive at the scene of a fire, and then identify the solar system on the structure, shut it down, watch for hazards as they extinguish the flames, and make sure the scene is safe when they leave.

How can a firefighter learn about solar technology?

SETO awardee, IREC, developed free, self-paced, interactive online training and live workshops designed specifically for firefighters. These resources help firefighters understand the unique risks associated with solar technologies, including identifying hazards and taking appropriate action during emergencies.

Can firefighters respond to solar energy fires?

As solar energy systems become more common, firefighters need to be equipped with the knowledge to safely respond to fires involving PV-equipped structures. SETO awardee, IREC, developed free, self-paced, interactive online training and live workshops designed specifically for firefighters.

Do solar PV systems cause fires?

With the continued increase in solar installations throughout the U.S., many questions have come up regarding solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and fire safety. While properly installed systems by qualified professionals must follow current safety codes, solar fires do happen.
