Currently the number of fire incidents involving photovoltaic (PV) systems are increasing as a result of the strong increase of PV installations. These incidents are terrible and immeasurable on life and properties. It is thus very important to understand the causes, effects and how prevent the occurrence of incidents.
The local fire department should be informed of and familiarized with the PV installation. Plans may be provided for reference in case of emergency. 21. PV systems should be labeled in a clear and systematic manner to ensure that technicians and firefighters can quickly and easily identify key elements of the system.
Contact with any components and subcomponents of a system is the first step in establishing a preventive measure to solar electric system fire incident. When the human body comes in contact with energized components, the current path is established through hand-to-hand, hand-to-foot, or foot-to-foot ; .
The specification for the safe design of a PV system is currently defined by International Standards: NEC 2011 and UL1741 for the countries of North America , ; IEC 60364-7 and IEC 62257-7 for the countries of the European Community , .
