Many citizens worried about electricity loadshedding are now shifting to solar panels. While there are advantages to solar panels, there are also disadvantages.
Solar panel is designed in a safe way but since it has wires installed like other electrical devices, it can pose a danger to your life.
Solar panel cables can present potential hazards if they are broken, installed incorrectly or not properly maintained. Avoiding going near solar panels is a better option, especially during rainy season.
If the solar system is faulty, there is a risk of electrocution. During heavy rains, water enters the solar panel, which can pose a risk of electric shock.
In rare cases, a faulty solar panel can overheat and catch fire. If water gets into the system and causes a short circuit, it’s worth noting that rain can increase the risk.
