Before installing PV panels on a building please make sure the following checklist has been followed to reduce the risk of a roof fire.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to clarify requirements for the insured and
end-users who plan to install and use Photovoltaic panels on roofs
(this document does not apply to PV panels/cells built into structures such as roof/facade tiles, etc.).
PV panels are a sustainable and green energy source that has become more popular recently. They are designed to convert sunlight into electricity. However, it is essential to consider potential risks when considering installing a solar panel system.
One of the major risks of installing Photovoltaic panels is roof fires. It is important to consider safety in all phases of the process, including the preparation phase, installation phase, and operational phase. It is also necessary to focus on the fire department´s capabilities so that they are prepared to handle a potential fire on roofs with Photovoltaic panels.
Therefore, it is crucial to comply with safety regulations and standards when installing a solar panel system to reduce the risk of roof fires. It is also important to regularly maintain the system to ensure that it functions optimally and is safe. Photovoltaic panels may not be placed on buildings designed for high storage without your insurer's acceptance or project review.
