A heat wave that brought this week record temperatures to Europe is reportedly the cause of a fire that started on Tuesday at a solar park owned by UK energy company Shell and located in Sas van Gent, in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
“For an unknown reason, the grass around the solar park caught fire,” the municipality's fire department said in a statement. “The dry grass and the strong wind contributed to increasing the fire, which burnt a large area.”

According to Zealand's safety agency Zeeland Veilig, the fire brigade was able to control the fire, which hit an area of around 5,000 square meters, in around two hours. “The fire burnt the grass under the panels and the solar panels were not affected,” the agency said.
據(jù)新西蘭安全機(jī)構(gòu)Zeeland Veilig稱,消防隊(duì)在大約兩個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)控制住了這場(chǎng)面積約5000平方米的火災(zāi)。“大火燒毀了組件下面的草,但組件沒(méi)有受到影響,”該機(jī)構(gòu)稱。
