With the increasing adoption of solar energy in Malaysia, it is essential to ensure compliance with fire safety guidelines set by Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM). Whether you’re a homeowner or a business investing in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, understanding these guidelines can help you avoid hazards and streamline the approval process. In this blog, we will explore the latest Bomba solar guidelines and how [Your Company Name], a leading solar EPCC provider, ensures safe and compliant installations.
The primary objective of Bomba’s solar guidelines is to: ✅ Ensure fire safety compliance for solar PV installations. ✅ Facilitate firefighter access during emergencies. ✅ Prevent electrical hazards like DC arcing and overheating. ✅ Establish standardized setback and clearance requirements for rooftops.
Non-compliance can result in project rejections, fines, and safety risks, making it crucial to work with a trusted solar installer.
Key Bomba Solar Guidelines in Malaysia :
- Access and Clearance for Firefighters
- For residential properties:
- Minimum 500mm clearance for roofs covering less than 33% of the total surface.
- 1-meter setback for installations covering more than 33% of the roof.
- For commercial/industrial buildings:
- 1.2-meter clearance around the edges if the building width is below 76.2m.
- 1.8-meter clearance for wider rooftops.
2. Rapid Shutdown & Electrical Safety
- Mandatory Rapid Shutdown Systems (RSS) for de-energizing the system in emergencies.
- Proper labeling for all PV components to assist emergency responders.
- DC isolators must be installed at easily accessible locations.
3. Material & Installation Standards
- Only SEDA Malaysia-certified components should be used.
- Installations must be conducted by certified solar professionals.
- Use of ABC (All Back Contact) solar panels for efficiency and durability.
