 Poor Workmanship, Quack Installers Behind Rising Solar Fire Incidents — Engr. Okolo Warns


By Azuka Offor 


An Electrical Engineer in the Ministry of Power and Water Resources, Emeka Okolo, has identified poor workmanship and the proliferation of unqualified installers as major causes of fire outbreaks in solar energy systems.


Speaking during a recent meeting held at the ministry’s premises in Awka, Okolo stressed that many of the incidents linked to solar installations could be prevented through proper design and professional handling.


 He noted that the growing number of “quack installers” in the sector continues to pose serious safety risks.


According to him, some clients contribute to the problem by prioritizing low costs over quality, often opting for the cheapest installers without considering the potential dangers involved.


Okolo explained that a standard solar home system consists of three key components the battery, inverter, and solar panels and that faults in any of these can lead to fire hazards if not properly managed.


However, he emphasized that system design remains the most critical factor.

“You can have high-quality batteries, inverters, and panels, but if the design is poor, it can still result in a fire outbreak,” he said.


He advised prospective users to verify manufacturers online to ensure they are dealing with reputable brands, adding that engaging qualified professionals for system design and installation is essential.


The engineer also highlighted the importance of proper placement of system components, particularly batteries, noting that solar equipment is highly sensitive to heat. 


He criticized the common practice of installing batteries indoors without adequate ventilation.

“The worst thing is to install batteries in enclosed spaces without ventilation."


Okolo warned, urging installers to ensure that both batteries and inverters are placed in well-ventilated areas.


He further recommended that inverters should be installed in locations that do not pose additional risks during emergencies, such as trapping occupants in the event of a fire.


Okolo concluded by calling for greater public awareness and stricter adherence to safety standards in solar installations, as the demand for renewable energy solutions continues to rise.
