Are roof-mounted solar panels safe?

Roof-mounted PV systems offer numerous benefits, including reduced energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint. However, businesses and installers must be aware of the potential risks associated with these systems. As the popularity of solar panels continues to soar, understanding and mitigating this emerging risk is paramount.
