PV Fire hazards

Troy Marquard

I though it would be interesting to note can the PV catch on fire? California has tracked several of these fires with their investigation results summarized. The conclusions are that the majority of the fires started were caused by "other system" components. In short this relates to the quality of the installation. See pages 16 and 17 for a listing of fires around the state.
