Malfunctioning electrical infrastructure can pose serious fire hazards, especially in renewable energy systems, energy storage, and power transmission. From faulty solar installations and lithium-ion battery fires to smart meter failures and high-voltage transmission line sparks, electrical faults have been linked to devastating fires. Understanding these risks and implementing proper safety measures—such as regular maintenance, high-quality...

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Metal roofs, due to their conductive properties, can act as unintended RF antennas. This effect is amplified when a metal roof is unearthed, increasing the likelihood of radiofrequency (RF) radiation hotspots. In these cases, the metal roof can pick up and re-radiate RF signals from nearby sources, creating potential...
