Solarstone Energy | Burning a solar panel. Will it catch on fire? #mythbuster @solarstoneenergy | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This time we tried to make fire on top of our panels to show how the fire spreads – or doesn't.
The majority of PV plant fire accidents are caused by DC arcing. An arc is a glow phenomenon caused by the ionization of air when an electric conductor is close to another conductor (or ground), and the voltage between them breaks down the air. An arc produces high temperatures and sometimes can result in open flames. In an electrical system, arcs not only cause the surrounding insulation materials to break down or carbonize and become ineffective, but they can also easily ignite nearby materials.
Solarstone uses Huawei inverters with the AFCI function that minimises the risk of arc fault.
Demonstrating the robustness of Solarstone modules we have:
1. conducted hail tests with ice balls cannoned at 130 km/h
2. dropped the panel from 1,5m
3. performed snow load tests for 250kg/m²
Solarstone panels have passed safety tests and conform to all relevant standards. Monocrystalline cell Solarstone modules are produced of high-quality components. We are constantly striving for better output and aim to improve the visual appeal of solar future
