We’re getting used to EV fires sending homes up in smoke.
Now it’s solar panels.
The Telegraph report:
Couple in their 30s installed the panels on their five-bedroom house a month before the fire, neighbours say
New solar panels probably caused a fire that has severely damaged a £1.5 million home.
The five-bedroom home in Ferndown, Dorset, was engulfed in 20ft flames on Monday afternoon when the panels ignited.
Firemen said the roof and “entire first floor” of the detached house were destroyed in the blaze. The owners were not hurt.
A spokesman for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Service said the solar panels were the probable cause.
“We believe the fire started accidentally and suspect the fire started from solar panels,” the spokesman said.

With the idiot Miliband wanting to make solar panels compulsory on new homes, this is a wake up call.
