What risk of fire is there from solar panels?

You can see their point, the fear of all those panels sliding down a hill and burying the local school is too high a price to pay for clean energy.

There have been several fires at solar farms (actually, at the battery storage bits I believe) but I'm not aware of them causing any injury or damage outside of the solar farm itself. I note it is West Oxfordshire, that's the planning authority that covers itself in glory on Clarkson's Farm I think.

Ah, yes, them. No natural supporter of Clarkson, but it does seem to be a hotbed of inertia there (to mix metaphors).

There have been a few fires from batteries on hybrid sites.

Not including the four people who liked it, obvs. Or the person who felt it worth commenting on.

Maybe I touched a nerve.

Scrolling through the news headlines when I woke up. Feck me, I wish I hadn’t.
The world is in a dark place and heading down a darker tunnel. 😢

Yup, a good day to be an Eeyore, PB.
