When considering the installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules, understanding the fire rating classifications is crucial. These classifications, often denoted as Class A, B, or C, provide insight into the fire resistance of solar panels. This information is vital for ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.
Photovoltaic (PV) Panel Fire Resistance Testing is a requirement that is dictated by the standards that the solar modules or systems are evaluated against. Multiple jurisdictions across the US require solar modules and systems to have a fire classification prior to installation.
Late last year the MCS Solar Mounting Working Group became aware of a change to a European standard, that took effect in September 2023. This change meant that fire test laboratories were no longer in a position to issue a fire classification for solar PV modules.
Fire ratings for PV modules are part of a standardized system to assess how a material or assembly will perform in a fire situation. Specifically, these ratings indicate the module''s ability to resist flame spread when exposed to fire.
