Description: Is solar safe? Misunderstanding and a lack of information amongst first responders, media, and the public have called the safety of solar systems into question. However, solar electric systems can be made safe for fire fighters to extinguish fires. The IACSC-IARW Construction/Codes Committee published the Fire Safe Solar white paper to help members better understand best practices in installing and maintaining a fire-safe solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The white paper also helps members have educated conversations about solar PV system safety with their vendors and local first responders.
