Most Solar Power fires are not caused by panels, experts say

A fire that destroyed hundreds of solar panels at an Amazon warehouse in Fresno in 2020 turned out to be the first of several for the company across the country.

So many, Amazon decided to re-inspect every single installation.

The panels are now back online.

But if this happened to the mega cyber-retailer, how safe are the installations on average homes?

“As bad as it is to have situations like these with large incidents, it does end up having positive benefits in the future because these often end up in improved quality standards or installation practice standards,” says Chris Deline, with the National Renewable Energy Lab.
