However there are electrical components involved.
Are solar panels safe to touch.
Do not apply pressure on pv photovoltaic panels by sitting or stepping on them or they might break and cause bodily injury electrical shock or damage to the solar panels.
Solar panels are designed to be safe and to be touched as long as you touch the glass or the aluminum frame.
Also never drop anything on the pv panels.
Exercise caution as you would around any type of electricity.
Pv panels can be blown around by the wind or a storm which can result in you falling or damage to the pv system.
How much can solar panels reduce your carbon footprint.
Regardless installing solar panels will almost certainly lead to lower average monthly electric bill charges and may eliminate your monthly electric bill in some cases.
When sunlight shines on the panels the panels convert sunlight directly into dc direct current electricity.
Moreover once the solar panels are installed the system is grounded via copper wire to avoid any possibility of shock hazard from touching solar panels even if they are installed in a 1 500 v pv system.
Financial returns are a major incentive for going solar but money isn t the only thing that solar panels save.
