The irony is that smoke carried far more toxic chemicals into the atmosphere than 10,000 panels ever prevented.

...new science wing

Yep, NEW science!

I am a solar entrepreneur. BUT, my focus is on tried and true technology... HOT WATER! I guess now it has the additional benefit of not burning down the house!

How did they manage to mess up a module/array installation? Modules only should be a foolproof install with the required MC4 connectors.

For the panels themselves, I’m not sure what would burn...maybe wiring, but that’s about it. But a wiring short could spread to the tar on the roof and other combustibles...

So it would be cleaner, safer and more effective with a woodstove?

Or even a coal burner?

The contractor says:

“If you are looking for someone to sue, you must sue God”.

I just installed the panels, I have no control of the sun.

Of course he is the same guy that said if we were to explore the sun we better go at night.

One problem with the solar cells is that there’s no way to shut them off if the sun is shining on them. There is high voltage present unless you cover the panels.

Something smells here.

Nothing about a solar PV panel is flammable.

No indication in the article of the cause of the fire?
