Friends:
This was brought to my attention: http://on.aol.com/video/are-solar-panels-a-fire-hazard--518000682?hp=1 <http://on.aol.com/video/are-solar-panels-a-fire-hazard--518000682?hp=1&play list=127173&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl12%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D403848> &playlist=127173&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl12%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D403848 I know this is an isolated scenario, but bad PR can spread like umm, wildfire. We should all be aware of bad press so we can respond to questions about safety hazards. I think this story is relevant in that as the number of PV installations continues to grow, the chance of an accident naturally increases. I believe we all need to do the best work possible to minimize this risk. Even though some of the Code requirements seem illogical, I favor strict adherence to the code, including the more subjective judgments on good workmanship. I look forward to the day when plastic wire ties of any type are not accepted for wire management - I think they are sub-standard practice and increase the likelihood of fire or shock hazards.
