Josh writes: On BishopHill there is a post about a fire caused by Solar panels. The story is also on the BBC news site.
“The source of the fire is believed to be an electrical fault with a solar panel on the roof. An investigation is under way.”
The council said all its solar panels were checked annually, with those at the town hall checked two weeks ago.
ESF&RS said solar panels were no more dangerous than any other electrical product.
From the Bishop Hill web site, “The whole article is pretty interesting, pointing out for example that if a fire breaks out in your solar panels, it is not going to get picked up by your smoke detectors.”
While I appreciate the humor, a burning roof is not something I want to be near.
