A source familiar with the incident says: “BP has been in the plant since the day after the fire and they have already told us the reason was the modules.” She adds that BP Solar has said that it will pay for the damage and for the time that the 5 megawatt (MW) solar plant is out of action. “

The source says that the whole plant has been switched off while BP checks the panels “module by module” to make sure they are safe.
