As PV deployments have become commonplace around the world, codes and standards bodies have worked with the fire services and the PV industry to develop guidelines to address the potential hazards to firefighters working near energized PV systems.
To make buildings more energy efficient, advanced clean and energy efficient technologies, especially photovoltaic (PV) systems, have become widely applied in new and existing buildings and communities, which, meanwhile, brings a new and intractable challenge to fire smoke protection.
The presence of a PV system near a fire may produce hazards such as heightened potential for falls, electrical shock, and collapse of roof structures. Due to these perceived hazards, there have been cases where firefighters limited their operations and the fire was allowed to expand.
The Tokyo Fire Department released “Directive standards for fire safety measurement regarding PV systems” to ensure the safety of firefighters in July 201424. The scope includes buildings requiring fire prevention such as commercial buildings and public buildings in Tokyo. It went into force on October 1, 2014.
