Solar Installation Safety Rail Kit: All You Need to Know
It’s true that the interest in renewable and clean energy is growing. It is reported that the market share of renewables in electricity generation jumped from 27% in 2019 to 29% in 2020. And the global renewable electricity generation was also more than 8% to reach 8 300TWh in 2021, which was the fastest yearly growth since the 1970s.
The rise of renewable energy generation has been leading to the installation of rooftop-mounted solar energy panels in Australia. However, the problem with these panels is that they pose potential fall hazards. Falls are probably the most common hazard associated with solar installation and maintenance. Thus, such installations require special attention to avoid high-hazard conditions.
