Solar Panel Safety

Did you know, improper installation of solar panels, or installing them without letting us know can endanger our linemen and your neighbors in the event of a major outage. Most grid-connected PV systems shut down to prevent back-feeding electricity into de-energized power lines that may have fallen or that line crew members may be working on. It’s important to have this shut-down feature to prevent injuries—and even death—to those working on the line.
