Advances in Constructional Engineering

Integrated photovoltaic systems in buildings play a vital role in enhancing energy efficiency and advancing green architecture. However, their complex electrical structures combined with building environments pose significant fire risks that require attention. Through risk modeling, this study reveals fire triggers and evolution mechanisms from perspectives including electrical faults, material properties, installation techniques, and operational conditions. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is employed to assess hazard levels. Based on these findings, prevention strategies should focus on source control, real-time monitoring, rapid isolation, and systematic management to minimize risks. The research framework established in this paper provides theoretical support and technical pathways for safe operation of integrated photovoltaic systems in buildings.
