Join us on Wednesday, September 8, at 12:30 p.m. ET for an engaging session exploring the fire risks associated with the growing use of solar technology on commercial buildings. As building-applied photovoltaic (BAPV) systems on rooftops and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels on façades become more common, they offer exciting opportunities for reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainability goals. However, they also introduce new safety challenges.
This webinar will dive into how electrical breakdowns—such as arc faults, ground faults, and short circuits—can lead to fires that not only endanger property but also release hidden greenhouse gases, undermining the very purpose of the installation. You’ll hear the latest findings from two large-scale testing projects focused on identifying practical, scalable solutions to reduce fire risk. Learn how these mitigation strategies can be applied to both new and existing roof constructions to improve safety and allow fire services to better manage incidents.
