Photovoltaics: Safety
The International Fire Code (IFC) establishes solar provisions relating to fire access and fire safety. Both IEC and ASTM Intl publish numerous PV standards; many are very similar and so redundant.
Standards and Requirements for Solar Equipment, Installation,
the National Electrical Code, and Underwriters Laboratories product safety standards [such as UL 1703 (PV modules) and UL 1741 (Inverters)], which are design requirements and testing
Residential Solar Panel Requirements
These requirements and other safety concerns for photovoltaic panels can be found in Chapter 11, Section 11.12 of NFPA 1, as well as in Article 690 of NFPA 70 ®, National Electric Code®.
