Tests show cement-bonded particle board can reduce flame spread in rooftop PV systems

Researchers at the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology (DBI) have released the results of initial tests investigating how a 12 mm cement-bonded particle board (CPB), installed between a combustible roofing membrane and the underlying insulation, affects fire development. They found that the CPB can reduce the likelihood of self-sustained flame spread beneath rooftop PV systems. The researchers classify the rooftop installations as building-applied photovoltaic (BAPV) systems, in which PV modules are added to the building envelope, as opposed to building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) ...
