Does anyone know the cause of the fire?
Was there an issue with the Solar PV panels themselves?
Did they use Micro inverters on a 1:1 basis per Salar PV panel?
Was it a mis-match of MC4 connector brands?
Should an install of that size have a Rapid Shut down mechanism?
What cable was used between the PV panels?
How many strings were used for the 100 panels?
Moving forward do need a review of commercial rooftop solar installation safety with input from the following?
IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology
BSI - British Standards Institution
LFB - London Fire Brigade
BRE. - Building Research Establishment
As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate.
Come on everybody let’s help inspire the future
