When installed and maintained properly, solar inverters are just as (if not more safe) than other power sources. Especially when they are equipped with appropriate fire suppression systems. With that being said however, in some instances, solar inverters can fail, overheat, and ultimately catch on fire. Let’s take a closer look as to why.
Rumours about burning houses that can’t be extinguished or firefighters who do not attack a fire if PV is involved put rooftop PV systems in a light they do not deserve. In fact, PV systems are of a very high safety level concerning preventative fire protection as well as operational safety and security in case of a fire.
As photovoltaic systems are rapidly deployed across Europe, an increasing number of commercial buildings, residential properties, and even historical districts are actively adopting distributed PV systems. While this rapid development boosts the share of renewable energy, it also exposes a range of fire safety risks.
Solar farms are no different. One of the biggest challenges facing solar farms are inverter fires and how to mitigate fire risks. It''s time to break down what causes these solar inverters to catch fire and discuss some solar farm fire protection fundamentals.
