An Update on Solar PV Module Classifications

MSC issues statement highlighting problems faced by the solar PV industry.

In light of the recent statement from MCS highlighting the problems faced by the solar PV industry in relation to fire testing and demonstrating fire classification required for solar PV systems to ensure compliance with Building Regulations, NFRC are encouraging members who are installing PV systems within their roof systems to check the PV module fire classification, specifically those solar products that form part of a roof covering, for example, roof-integrated PV systems.

We urge members to seek clarity from either the project's design team or fire engineer before agreeing to install such PV systems.
