NBC-TV late night comedy host Jay Leno recommends that solar panels be installed at night.
He explains, as soon as they're taken out of the box on a sunny day, they're making electricity. This can be a serious peril to those intalling the panels. |

Is that for real? I'm thinking of having them installed on my house to heat water.
Cheers,

The water heater kind are probably different from the electrical kind Leno was referring to.
The water heater kind are probably plumbing related; a pipe or conduit for water. So there shouldn't be any peril of lethal energy discharges. But a solar water heater can be a wise investment in the right climate, if you get lots of sun, not much fog, or overcast, etc. |
