Mick; I train both fire departments and PV installers across the USA on PV systems and firefighter safety. Covering the roof edge to edge as you say is a very slippery slope for you, as the system designer. It's not legal in many areas, where setbacks and access pathways for firefighters are

Brian; I think you laid out the challenges quite well. Keep firefighters safe, but don't pose unrealistic constraints on PV systems. You also mention true accessibility -- which is a big issue here. I learned on the first day of class in FF1 Academy from our FDNY instructor (a real
