The current installation practices for PV systems on roofs create electrical, fire, structural, and weather-related hazards that do not comply to current codes, standards and guidance documents. Potential dangers include structural loading, wind loads, hail, snow, debris accumulation, seismic hazards, firefighting hazards, and electrical hazards. Despite the increased popularity of PV systems after the environmental movement, research shows that the costs of installing PV systems outweigh the benefits. Hazards of PV systems on roofs have caused several incidents in the United States; the most notable in Bakersfield, California, and Mount Holly, North Carolina. Designed for fire engineers and professionals, Best Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation offers recommendations to set up PV systems safely and sustainably.SpringerBriefs in Fire,2193-6595Buildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalMechanicsMechanics, AppliedQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyBuilding Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Solid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Building Construction and Design.Solid Mechanics.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.690.8370472Wills Rosalieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061378Milke James Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRoyle Saraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSteranka Kristinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299227903321Best Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation2518642UNINA
