Governments and businesses are increasingly utilizing renewable energy sources for their power requirements. The most common alternative energy sources are often considered to be wind and solar. Thus, structures producing or powered by solar power systems and/or wind turbines are becoming commonplace. When dealing with electrical and or mechanical technologies the danger of fire is something that must be seriously considered.
One common scenario is damage to the inverter or its enclosure causing fire incidents and catastrophe. Fires in wind turbines usually begin with a lightning strike or technical fault.
