4. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och SamhällssäkerhetAbstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE
