There were 80 PV-related fires in the UK alone in the last 5 years. In one case when PV farm caught fire the whole neighbourhood was told to stay indoors due to toxic smoke.
A Tesla battery farm in Australia caught fire last month and burned for three days.
So granted the rather low levels of maturity of the PV technology and pressure to do things cheaply, I think the residential opposition is way more justified than in case of nuclear power plants.
