Fire Safety for Solar Installations

Keep Solar Installations Safe and Compliant

Fire Safety for
Battery Storage

The new PAS 63100:2024 British reccomendation, introduced on 31st March 2024, sets important ﬁre safety for home battery storage and solar panel installations, highlighting that batteries should be installed outside or in carefully protected areas away from living spaces and escape routes.

Why Fire Safety Is Essential for Solar Power and Battery Storage

In the UK the shift to more sustainable energy is now becoming more common amongst home-owners and business owners. Although solar panels are considered safe, when installed they can impose potential fire risks due to issues such as faulty wiring, environmental damage, component defects and improper installation. Although the risk of a solar panel system catching fire is predicted to be lower in comparison to other electrical systems, in the first half of 2023 there were 66 recorded fires caused by solar panels. There are a number of measures you can put into place to minimise the hazard of a fire these can include:

Fire Risk Assessment
Appropriate storage
Regular maintenance – including cleaning

The poor storage of solar panels can be deadly due to the lithium-ion batteries that are used to power the panels, as they have a tendency to overheat. Adequate fire detection is advised to alert in the case of a fire where batteries and inverters are stored.
