As we have said, it is essential to have a trusted installer to carry out this type of assembly in your home. And this is so because, despite the fact that a photovoltaic installation is quite safe, if it is not installed correctly the risks multiply until they are quite high. Regarding fires, there are three main reasons why they can occur:

• The age of the panels, which usually have a useful life of around 30 years. If the equipment wears out a lot, it could burn out.
• Poor connections or loose cables that cause electric shocks. A dangerous situation that can also trigger the flames.
• Generation of hot spots, which occur when there is shadow on a panel and the energy does not flow through all the diodes. This generates a lot of heat at certain specific points, which could end up damaging the plate or starting a fire.

To avoid any of these reasons, it is best to use a quality company with proven experts. In this way they can help you with the maintenance of your panels, the wiring and they will check that everything is correct to avoid possible hot spots.
