This block will address the roofs that support photovoltaic installations from different aspects and features (mechanical, durability, waterproofing, fire safety, etc.).

• • Interaction between PV panel and the roof materials. Eric Guillaume, General Manager of EFECTIS. European reference entity in the evaluation of the fire behavior of products, systems or projects, for any industry.

During the S2B International Conference, Eric Guillaume, General Manager of EFECTIS, participated in the session ‘Fire safety of photovoltaic mounted roofs’.

His intervention focused on the evaluation of the fire performance of products and systems in photovoltaic installations, an important aspect in the safety of our buildings.

He stressed the importance of carrying out rigorous evaluations to ensure the fire resistance of the materials used.

He addressed current regulations and how these can evolve to meet the new challenges presented by the integration of technology in buildings.

His focus on risk management and safety provides a solid foundation for advancing safer building practices.
