Seriously, if you must install solar on a rented apartment, you should use a stand to elevate the panes-

People in the field should improvise on ways to reduce potential hazards rather than an outright ban on the roofs.

Insurance should be able to handle this. But I tell you, it is possible more than 99% of houses in Nigeria are not insured.

The cause of burning solar s like the picture depicts above is when the solar power is being overloaded.
They help in calculating the load your solar can carry, if it can't be enough, you shed your appliances. Use 1 for some hours before changing etc.
Just get a good solar person for consultation.

What kind of question be this? You can allow whatsoever from your tenants when you become a landlord.

Reason why landlords and other tenants should lose their properties to fire

Same way they lose their properties to gas explosion and partial electric wiring...

The only issue would be that the solar installer should be experts and agreement should be signed.......

Not restricting people from exploring other options to free energy.

I never put mine on my roof.

I didn’t want anyone to destroy my Gerald roof during the solar installation.

I built a separate shed for the solar and i can even sit under the shed to be chilling during the day and night

There is nothing as good as separation of concerns.

What are the possibilities of a solar going up in flames on a roof is this a common phenomenon or is it unusual? I have plans to get one soon.

CrownLands:
The images shown and the caption do not match the installation of solar s on the roofing.

The op should present an analysis of the percentage of fire outbreaks resulting from solar installation.

Studies will reveal negligible. However, anybody intending to install solar systems in a building should employ safe, standard and professional procedures.

Use a professional. A tenant can write an indemnity letter to the landlord; to repair or replace damages resulting from such installation.

Finally, landlords!! Insure your buildings. They are investments.
don't mind the mischievous op..that image shown is not the same..also external factors might be the cause of the fires and not the s..

This happens when
1. The design is faulty
2. Safety protection devices against short circuit, overloading and thunderstrike are not installed
However, most landlords do not want their roof to be drilled or pierced, that is the actual reason they do not encourage tenants to install solar on the roof of their houses.

As a landlord I can never allow my tenants install solar on the roof, as a tenant I can't even think about installing solar on our roof.

As Africans why do we focus on the negative when it comes to progressive things. There is a 0.01% chance of this happening, and was an investigation done to find the issue and address it rather than total ban? if it’s one backward thing now we will look past the bad sides and embrace it. If I wasn’t African ehn I for be racist because what is this?
