Quoting the latest rabbit from Warren:
"I'll end on a practical note I'm surprised nobody has mentioned to date.
You say the fire brigade fears electricution from tossing water on active
solar panels and I don't blame them but what about common sense
electrical safety precautions? We already have electrical codes based on
fire control and prevention so why overlook what is rapidly becoming a
source of electrical power... solar systems? Heck, I'm no EE but surely i
could design a safe system you could douse all day without any danger of
contacting more voltage than you find in vehicle electrical systems and
blah,blah,blah,b....."
I have mentioned before that we have solar panels here in the wet NW of
England and the seem to stand up to the water coming from the sky quite
well, in some cases for decades.
NB. I expect Thomas Alva Edison invented solar panels as he invented
everything else - especially plagiarism, so the Americans have probably
had solar panels longer than us poor Limeys.
