Lessons learned
- A service log must record the asset type for any solar panel fire so later reviews can separate these events from ordinary property fires.
- Operators should fit a clear isolation point on residential solar arrays so firefighters can respond safely to a property fire.
- Where a one-line log is the only record, operators must not infer cause or damage from the entry.
