Research has been conducted by the Certification for RES and New Technologies (CBOiNT). The report shows that fire propagation across the surface of the FIT VOLT system (compared to other photovoltaic solutions) does not occur during the entire test, as we have applied a highly durable steel base for the photovoltaic panels.
The external roof element, which also serves as the surface of the photovoltaic module, does not ignite or melt. The FIT VOLT system heats up only slightly and does not cause heat transfer via thermal conduction through the subsequent layers of roof covering into the building interior.
The photovoltaic installation itself is not a source of fire — the risk of fire is caused by factors such as improper installation of the ventilation system, voltage surges, and malfunctioning optimization systems. To eliminate these risks, we use high-quality optimizers from the trusted manufacturer SolarEdge, certified connectors, and an electrical layout that minimizes the risk of wiring mistakes.
The roof is installed on an openwork boarding that allows ventilation of the roofing. Additionally, it is equipped with a ventilated AIR ridge cap with factory-made perforation, which allows for improved air circulation. 🌬
One optimizer supports two integrated photovoltaic panels. The optimizers are mounted on a ventilated rail along the edge of the roof. Their function is to control the operation of the panels, ensuring safe voltage and temperature levels for the system.
Moreover, we have obtained a number of other fire safety certificates for the FIT VOLT panel. Among them is the Broof T1 certificate from CERTBUD, which classifies our panels as a “non-fire-spreading element.”
