6 FAQs about [Design of fire protection experiment scheme for photovoltaic panels]

Does photovoltaic installation affect fire safety of buildings?

The impact of Photovoltaic (PV) installations on the fire safety of buildings must be considered in all building projects where such energy systems are established. The holistic fire safety of the building largely depends on how the fire safety of the PV installation is considered by the different actors during the design and construction process.

Are PV panels a fire risk?
