Are solar panels safe?

Solar panels are extremely safe. Fire risk: 0.01% (1 in 10,000) over 25 years — far less than tumble dryers (6,000 fires/year). EMF radiation: far below household appliances. Noise: silent (inverter hum 30-45dB like a laptop fan). Chemical risk: zero in normal use (sealed glass/silicon). Roof damage: virtually none with professional installation. Electrical: DC isolators and anti-islanding provide multiple safety layers. MCS certification ensures: qualified installer, tested components, and regulatory compliance. Use MCS = safe.
