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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Fire,$x2193-6595 606 $aBuildings?Design and construction 606 $aBuilding 606 $aConstruction 606 $aEngineering, Architectural 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aQuality control 606 $aReliability 606 $aIndustrial safety 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012 606 $aSolid Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010 606 $aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032 615 0$aBuildings?Design and construction. 615 0$aBuilding. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 0$aEngineering, Architectural. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aQuality control. 615 0$aReliability. 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 14$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aSolid Mechanics. 615 24$aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk. 676 $a690.8370472 700 $aWills$b Rosalie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061378 702 $aMilke$b James A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRoyle$b Sara$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSteranka$b Kristin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299227903321 996 $aBest Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation$92518642 997 $aUNINA
