Didn't half a row of row houses get destroyed in a fire last year in NL because they had rooftop solar and it would effectively shield the fire from the firefighters?
I’m struggling to even think about this argument. How does something on the roof prevent firefighters from putting out the fire? It’s not like firefighters drill a hole through the roof to ingest extinguishers..
The solar panels themselves are _outside_ the roof. So, if they catch fire, your roof must have gone to fire by now, and you have bigger things to worry about.

I cannot see how solar panels on the roof could hinder fire safety.
All the Li-ion batteries we keep inside the house in the other hand… particularly the old ones on our used electronics laying around in closets and drawers without being paid attention to. That’s what worries me the most. I can only get the most flexible fire insurance for my home.
