Fire Safety Tips for Your Solar Photovoltaics System:
How to Protect Your Solar Power System from Fire?
With the increasing adoption of Solar Photovoltaics System across Malaysia, ensuring the safety of your Solar Power System is crucial. Improper installation, poor maintenance, or low-quality components can pose safety hazards to Solar Power Systems, including fire risks. Here’s how you can prevent your Solar Photovoltaics System from catching fire and ensure a safe and efficient system.
 
Choose a Licensed &
Experienced Solar Installer
One of the leading causes of Solar Power System failures is improper installation. Hiring a licensed, professional installer ensures that:
  • All electrical connections are correctly fitted and insulated.
  • The Solar Photovoltaics System complies with Malaysia’s safety standards and regulations.
  • High-quality materials and certified components are used.

Use High-Quality
Solar Components
Low-cost, substandard panels, inverters, or wiring increase the risk of electrical malfunctions. Always choose solar solutions that are certified and tested for safety. Look for components with
  • TUV, IEC, and SIRIM certifications for compliance with international and Malaysian safety standards.
  • Fire-resistant materials in wiring and junction boxes.
  • Proper surge protection to prevent short circuits.
Investing in a high-quality Solar Photovoltaics System ensures long-term performance and reduces potential fire hazards.
 
Conduct Regular
Maintenance & Inspection
Routine maintenance is essential to detect any faults early and keep your Solar Power System operating safely. Schedule inspections to:
  • Check for loose wiring or overheating components.
  • Clean debris from solar panels to prevent overheating.
  • Inspect inverters and junction boxes for signs of wear and tear.
With regular maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your Solar Photovoltaics System and ensure optimal performance.

Ensure Proper System Design &
Load Management
An improperly designed Solar Photovoltaics System can lead to overheating and failures. Ensure that:
  • The system is designed according to your energy needs.
  • Proper ventilation is provided around inverters and electrical components.
  • Overloading of inverters or wiring is avoided to prevent overheating.
  • The system is installed by professionals who consider environmental factors like temperature and shading.
By optimising system design, your Solar Power System will operate efficiently and safely. It is recommended to seek consultation from licensed Solar Solutions providers like Technitec to ensure the safety of your Solar Power System.
 
Leverage Solar Power Grants
& Government Support
Many people mistakenly believe that only high-income individuals or large corporations can afford quality solar solutions and engage professional service providers. However, fire risks are a serious concern, making it essential for everyone to prioritise proper installation and maintenance.
 
The good news is that solar energy is now more accessible than ever, thanks to the Malaysian government's various solar power grants and incentives aimed at promoting the safe adoption of Solar Photovoltaics Systems.
Some key solar power grant programs include:
  • Net Energy Metering (NEM) – Earn credits by sending excess solar power back to the grid.
  • Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) – Tax incentives for businesses investing in solar solutions.
  • MySuria Program – Financial assistance for B40 households installing solar energy systems.
At Technitec, we not only provide high-quality solar solutions, but we also assist you in securing solar power grants and financial incentives, ensuring a smoother and more affordable transition to solar energy.
These initiatives not only reduce installation costs but also encourage compliance with safety standards, ensuring that more homes and businesses in Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Sabah, and Penang adopt safe and efficient Solar Photovoltaics Systems.
