The introduction of the Green Energy Act, 2009 in 2009 to generate growth in clean and renewable energy sources resulted in a significant increase in the number of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine systems installed across Ontario. It is anticipated that the number of installations will continue to grow at a significant rate in the coming years. Concerns have been raised that this growth will lead to a corresponding increase in the number of fires involving these systems, introducing new and unfamiliar hazards to responding fire service personnel.
