Since the energy resources are limited and also cause pollution so technology has come up with alternative sources of energy which cannot just fulfill our needs but also contribute to sustainable development.

In the past few years, solar panels and wind turbines have largely taken the burden of meeting our daily energy needs. The following blog deals with some safety techniques you must follow while using these appliances at home.

Introduction

Undoubtedly, solar panels and wind turbines are pollution free and money saving way of fulfilling energy needs at one’s home but they too function with electrical currents and are a big risk to our lives if mishandled.

Solar Panels

• The very first thing to take care of while installing a solar panel is to take a proper survey of the building where it is going to be installed. If the building is not suitable to bear the weight of the panels then you should simply drop the idea of installing them.
• The people who will be working with its installation should be the ones who are well experienced and trained to do the job. A good electrician will always fuse set ups and do the grounding to avoid any accidents.
• Another important thing about solar panels is insulation. Since they can become exceptionally hot while being used therefore, they need to be insulated properly.
• Proper installation and maintenance measures have to followed with due respect to safety of the person who is installing and the ones who will be using it.

 Wind Turbines

• Since wind turbines have large counterparts therefore, before installing the building must be closely examined to avoid any accidents.
• During high winds, the turbines may experience a lot of stress which may result into problems with its functionality.  Therefore, it’s must to fit in an isolator switch when the turbine setup is being done.
• When you get wind turbines installed for your household use, make sure you do it with the help of a professional who best knows to install it in a perfect way.
• Maintaining the turbines is another arduous job which requires the assistance of an experienced electrician.
