Customer ServiceSecondly, the review discusses the safety risks associated with solar energy production, focusing on occupational health and safety hazards for workers involved in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of solar energy systems.
These risks include the grid frequency going out of the ±0.5 Hz limit, feeder circuits disconnecting and shorts to ground. The first two risks are expected to increase as the penetration of solar PV generation increases, because the solar systems may introduce transients or voltages that are out of phase with the grid.
Photovoltaics is safe! It has far fewer risks and environmental impacts than conventional sources of energy. None-theless, there are some environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) challenges associated with making, using and disposing of solar cells. Is Today's PV Safe to Make and Use? Yes conditionally.
In other words, risk is a unit less measure. Table 2 summarizes the operating performance risks for solar PV systems and TEP’s distribution grid. These risks are related to the functionality of the system. Failure events in the performance category typically result in system downtime and will affect the quality and reliability of system operations.
Risks associated with the PV industry are likely to occur at each step of the PV system life cycle, and concern both health and safety. A wide range of potential toxic chemicals are used, generated or manipulated in the PV industry, routinely or accidentally.
