Contact with any components and subcomponents of a system is the first step in establishing a preventive measure to solar electric system fire incident. When the human body comes in contact with energized components, the current path is established through hand-to-hand, hand-to-foot, or foot-to-foot ; .
Existing approaches to avoid solar PV fire accidents mainly include preventive actions. The preventive actions include array recombination and detection algorithm research. The studies [40-50] illustrate the reconfiguration of PV modules or PV arrays, and the studies [51-78] introduce algorithm to detect the faulty PV modules. FIGURE 9.
The causes, effects and preventions of solar electric fire incident to the user, in some cases, are not known, but understanding them is important to obtain a valuable solar power.
The hot spot effect and aging of PV panels were found responsible in previous fire accidents can be caused by the dust density around the PV array, the ambient temperature, and the material structure of the PV array. Preventive solutions to the fire accident can be distinguished into solar panel reconfiguration and fire fault detection algorithm.
For example, set up an appropriate automatic fire alarm system, intelligent protection against DC arc, and intelligent blocking components. Finally, it is also critical to strengthen the daily fire supervision and management, and regularly hold the fire safety training on PV power generation.
