At the moment more than 1 Million photovoltaic (PV) power generators are connected to the national grid in Germany1. This leads to an increasing number of estimated 300 fire accidents caused by this technology every year. Often the fire brigades deny extinguishing a burning PV generator. The fear of electric shock and poisonous heavy metals in PV solar panels refrain the firemen from doing their task. The cause of a fire of PV Systems can be the ignition of the building where the generator is mounted on, arson or technical errors in the PV modules, like strings or the inverter.
