Experimental Studies of Fire from CIGS Thin Film Solar Module Back

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the building integrated photovoltaic commonly using in residential and commercial buildings, fire researches about this new renewable energy system are still insufficient. Electrical failure may bring local fever at the backside of the module. In order to investigate fire potential in this situation, bench-scale experiments based on the cone calorimeter are conducted with different external heat flux from 20 to 45kWm-2 at intervals of 5 kWm-2. This paper focuses on the thermal properties and combustion behaviors of copper–indium–gallium–diselenide (CIGS) thin-film solar module, and also discusses the gas toxicity.
