Published scientific studies on the technology and implementation of photovoltaic panels mainly focus on the benefits and present case studies of success. The article aims to outline the current state of research on the danger of spontaneous ignition of photovoltaic panels. The analysis revealed the most common causes of PV self-ignition.
Combustion characteristics were investigated such as Ignition time, HRR (heat release rate),MLR (mass loss rate). Chow [ 6] compared the chemical composition of two common crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy.
In summary, the polymers in photovoltaic modules in fire scenarios will become combustion loads, exacerbating the intensity of the fire. In addition, the installation of photovoltaic modules can also cause local suction effect, thereby changing the trend of the fire and exacerbating its spread.
The following conclusions can be drawn: In fire scenarios, the backsheet of photovoltaic panels poses a greater risk. Experiments demonstrate that when the glass surface of the photovoltaic panel is exposed to thermal radiation, it is difficult to ignite under radiation heat fluxes below 20 kW/m 2.
