Can a person step on a photovoltaic panel
While it's certainly possible to walk on solar panels, it is not recommended. Solar panels are made of very thin and fragile tempered glass, and the weight and pressure of a footstep could easily crack the glass or pop it out from its frame. This may occur if you are installing equipment on your roof where your panels are, if you are performing roofing work, or if you are cleaning your solar panels. Always take precautions when handling or cleaning them. Can you touch a washing machine or a toaster? Yes, and you shouldn't be electrocuted.Read More Download PDF
