Lessons learned
- A fire limited to a few panels can still interrupt generation, so the affected strings should be isolated and inspected before the array is returned to service.
- Until an investigation reports a cause, similar sites should treat connectors, cabling and nearby vegetation as open lines of enquiry rather than assume a single failure.
- Early reports should record how many panels were damaged and whether anyone was hurt, so later reviews are not left with a headline only.
