One thing to consider is that PV is installed on a lot of buildings
here, and many more in Europe. There is ample data available to
determine if PV is a fire hazard. We should not create codes based
on speculation. Early on the "what if" factor seemed to play heavily
into the equation. At this point safety evaluations can be based on
field experience.

Wrenches,
See http://www.solarabcs.org/flammability/ and the report at
http://www.solarabcs.org/flammability/Flammability_Interimreport.pdf
Is there any flammability difference between PV equipment on a roof
and HVAC or air handling equipment on a roof? My concern is whether
PV is being singled out as a flammability concern while other more
established industries with more powerful lobbyists are not.
