Lessons learned
- Where rooftop solar has been affected by fire on the same street more than once, owners and installers should check the arrays, cabling and isolators for a common fault.
- Fire services and occupiers should know how to isolate rooftop PV arrays, because panels can remain live while there is daylight.
- Recording and sharing the cause of each rooftop PV fire helps installers and owners check similar systems.
