Are solar power installations dangerous?
Solar power installations can be the source of a combination of risks throughout their life cycle. This may be influenced by the following main areas of hazards: exposure to toxic chemicals and metals, electric risks (PV)/burns (STP), working at height, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
What are the risks associated with small-scale solar power installations?
All operations on small-scale solar power installations require training to recognise the various risks and to take the appropriate safety and health measures. The manufacture, disposal or recycling of PV systems can lead to exposure to chemicals.
What are the risks associated with solar panels?
During their assembly and repair, or as a result of accidental damage (such as in the case of leakage), the chemical risks that may occur are lower since only small amounts of semi-conductor materials are present in the finished items. Solar installations present electric risks during (de)installing, connecting, and maintaining.
Is solar PV a arc flash hazard?
Solar PV systems with battery banks can be a potential arc flash hazard due to the stored energy in the batteries. Shorting terminals from a common 12 V battery bank can generate fault current of over 6000 amps for two-second durations. That energy release can cause serious burns or death if it comes into contact with skin or a person.
