Adding solar panels to a roof may impact insurance coverage and liability in case of damage or accidents. Below, we have highlighted some items to consider before moving forward with installation: Location: Before opting to install PV solar panels, it's crucial to know if the. . PV panels can introduce an obvious ignition source to the roof level, and therefore, increase the risk of fire. Several high-profile fires have occurred in commercial and industrial buildings with rooftop solar PV systems. PV panels installed over a combustible roof system is discouraged as it will. . Under normal operating conditions, rooftop PV systems do not pose health, safety or environmental risks if properly designed, installed and maintained. However, rooftop solar increases the value at risk compared to ground mounted systems (see Figure 1).
