Risk Insight: Roof Mounted Photovoltaic Panels and Systems
02/01/2022
Photovoltaic (PV) panels and systems are becoming a frequent sight on commercial, industrial and residential premises, representing the largest microgeneration technology that supplies renewable energy to consumers.
It is important that PV systems meet current design, installation, maintenance and operational standards to ensure that the potential for unexpected events, which can result in significant losses, is controlled and the risks associated with these systems are eliminated, controlled or mitigated as far as is reasonably practicable.
The guidance addresses the design, installation and maintenance aspects of roof mounted PV systems.
The design and technology of PV panels continues to evolve, meaning that the risks associated, and their appropriate controls, is dynamic and continues to be developed.
This document considers roof mounted PV systems only.
