Do in-roof solar panels meet fire safety standards?

A recent rule change means that many in-roof solar systems no longer meet fire safety standards, and some installers may be selling systems that aren't properly tested. What Has Changed? In September 2023, the rules around fire safety testing for in-roof solar panels changed.

Are in-roof solar panels safe?

If you're thinking about getting solar panels that sit inside your roof (in-roof or integrated solar), there are some important safety changes you need to know about. A recent rule change means that many in-roof solar systems no longer meet fire safety standards, and some installers may be selling systems that aren't properly tested.

Are roof-top solar panels a fire risk?

When planning the installation of roof-top solar panels, all parties involved (designers, specifiers, owners, contractors and insurers) have to be aware of any associated potential fire risks, and engaged in mitigating them.

Are ATEX solar panels explosion-proof?

Enhanced Safety Features: Standard panels do not need to be explosion-proof, meaning they lack safety features of ATEX and IECEx-certified panels. For instance, while a typical solar panel might house its electrical connections in standard junction boxes, ATEX panels use explosion-proof junction boxes.
