Fire performance of roofs with pv panels

Disclaimer:

Information in this section relates to research and testing programmes on the fire performance of flat roofs fitted with photovoltaic (PV) panels. These programmes were conducted using specific test methods, configurations, and boundary conditions, and may relate to specific products, systems, or assembly methods.

The results are provided for information purposes only and reflect the conditions under which the respective tests or studies were carried out. Fire performance may be influenced by a wide range of factors, including, but not limited to, roof build‑up, insulation type, PV system design, installation details, the test method applied, and applicable national regulatory frameworks.

While PU Europe has taken reasonable care to review the relevance and credibility of the referenced publications, it makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or applicability of the information to other products, roof configurations, or real‑world situations.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a warranty, guarantee, certification, or endorsement of any product, system, or solution, nor as legal, technical, or regulatory advice.
