Background

Amazon's delivery warehouse roof in the northeast of Maryland is equipped with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. On June 1, 2021, a fire broke out in this roof. The fire occurred from a photovoltaic inverter manufactured by a power system company in Shanghai, China.

Background

Case investigation

Our company participated in the joint technical survey on July 29, 2021. According to the on-site survey, our company is inclined to believe that the cause of the fire is likely to be related to the "unbalanced DC bus fault" of the inverter before the fire, that is, the operation defect may cause the fire.
