Generating power with solar panels is not only very sustainable and therefore good for the environment, but also cost effective.... But have you ever thought about the fire risk of a solar panel system? We will tell you all about it, so that your installation is fireproof as well!
Just recently, the Institute of Physical Safety (IFV) reported that, due to the explosive growth in the number of solar panels on residential properties, fire departments are increasingly confronted with fires and risks in the residential environment. In several cases, the installation work was the cause of the fires. What exactly can you do to maximize the protection of your home and appliances when severe thunderstorms are coming?
With Solar Safe Home products, your home is also protected from the dangers of fire from A to Z!
To improve fire safety in solar panel installations, the DC PLUS and MIN lines must be run separately (NPR5310) and airtight (BENG) through the roof into the building.
Damage to solar module cables caused by sharp edges of roof tiles is now a thing of the past! PVtile offers a safe and weather-resistant cable transit from the solar panels to the roof boarding using the standard adapter plate in combination with the transit cap.
Suitable for:
Installing solar cables “loose” is not an option, not even on the roof of a house. By laying cables loose on the roof, they can end up in (rain) water, which causes a dangerous situation. Even in a pipe, without condensation drainage possibility, it is not allowed according to NEN1010. RoofSupport HOME offers the solution.
The standardization of the NEN1010 is clear in the field of potential equalization: “all foreign conducting parts should be equipped with a potential equalization.” With PV grounding kits, equalizing the solar panel installation is simple and correct!
It is possible to protect the home, in addition to burglary and fire protection, also against lightning damage. With PVbox you prevent fire, even in the event of a direct lightning strike!
FireRaptor is a fire switch for a solar panel system, which in the event of a fire, can quickly turn off the power coming from the solar panels.
