Solar PV systems contribute to an increase in the probability of a fire occurring, primarily due to electrical risks. Through collaboration with the Alternative Technology Association, fire services personnel, solar PV installers, and other regulatory organisations, we identified fire risks associated with solar PV systems and investigated how the presence of solar PV systems can affect homeowners. An informational guide was produced for homeowners to raise public awareness and provide suggestions to mitigate fire risks associated with solar PV installations.
