New fire-compliant solar panel launches amid safety concerns
Briefly

Solfit has introduced a new fully compliant rooftop solar panel, the JT 425Wp, amid rising concerns over solar installation safety following recent fires. The product meets UK fire and building regulations, incorporating safer materials like double-glass laminate and a secure interlocking metal frame. This launch responds to incidents in Surrey and Bristol where fires were linked to solar panels, prompting housing associations to disconnect installations for safety. The panel is designed to offer peace of mind for installers and homeowners, affirming safety without sacrificing performance.
"It was horrific. Many homes are gone. The fire crews were here all day," a Surrey resident told local media.
"The JT 425Wp was designed by installers, for installers," said Ewen Estill, Owner of Solfit. "With UK regulations becoming more rigorous, this panel provides peace of mind without compromising on performance."
