To make buildings more energy efficient, advanced clean and energy efficient technologies, especially photovoltaic (PV) systems, have become widely applied in new and existing buildings and communities, which, meanwhile, brings a new and intractable challenge to fire smoke protection.
Studies on photovoltaic modules have mainly focused on improving productivity and performance, while no study has viewed the impact of the use of BAPV and BIPV systems on the overall fire safety of a building. There is not enough literature regarding fire scenarios addressing various types of PV systems, which can be installed on buildings.
As highlighted by various authors, a PV fire incident is a complex and multi-faceted topic that cannot be simplified to a single variable causing a single outcome. To begin with, our analysis shows that currently, there is no appropriate system for reporting and recording fire incidents involving or initiated by a PV panel system.
Overall, we see that research in the field of PV fire safety is progressing, as demonstrated by the growing number of studies in the last couple of years. As highlighted by various authors, a PV fire incident is a complex and multi-faceted topic that cannot be simplified to a single variable causing a single outcome.
These failures can cause a fire in PV modules, which can spread and become a hazard. Based on the review of the current literature about PV systems and related fire incidents in Section 2, a major classification for fire scenarios in PV panels consists of an “original fire scenario” and a “victim fire scenario”.
This is why green building and energy efficient technologies, especially photovoltaic (PV) systems, have been widely applied in new and existing constructions. They can, however, cause a new intractable challenge, i.e., fire safety.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
