According to, approximately 51% of the PV related re accidents is related to installation errors or poor quality of PV modules, which further causes cable faults on PV modules. On the contrary, the hot-spot effect is liable for a relatively lower percentage of the solar panel re accidents.
In the same year, another 15 events of solar PV module related re accidents were reported in Netherlands . In 2012, a solar panel related re occurred in a warehouse in Goch, Germany, which caused a burning area of about 4000 m2 . The root cause of the solar panel related re accident is usually associated with a de cit in the PV system.
Existing approaches to avoid solar PV re accidents mainly include preventive actions. The preventive actions include array recombination and detection algorithm research. The studies illustrate the recon guration of PV modules or PV arrays, and the studies intro-duce algorithm to detect the faulty PV modules.
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.
When the solar panels catch a fire, it not only results in power generation reduction but also causes secondary damage such as toxic gas emission. As shown in Figure 1, the constituent
