According to, approximately 51% of the PV related re accidents is related to installation errors or poor quality of PV modules, which further causes cable faults on PV modules. On the contrary, the hot-spot effect is liable for a relatively lower percentage of the solar panel re accidents.
In the same year, another 15 events of solar PV module related re accidents were reported in Netherlands . In 2012, a solar panel related re occurred in a warehouse in Goch, Germany, which caused a burning area of about 4000 m2 . The root cause of the solar panel related re accident is usually associated with a de cit in the PV system.
In order to minimize the risks of re accidents in large scale applications of solar panels, this review focuses on the latest techniques for reducing hot spot effects and DC arcs. The risk mitigation solutions mainly focus on two aspects: structure recon guration and faulty diagnosis algorithm.
Existing approaches to avoid solar PV re accidents mainly include preventive actions. The preventive actions include array recombination and detection algorithm research. The studies illustrate the recon guration of PV modules or PV arrays, and the studies intro-duce algorithm to detect the faulty PV modules.
