A nightmare for residents of busy streets in Berlin, experts are warning of an imminent danger posed by the mounting of giant solar panels on fragile balcony railings above public streets. The weight of these panels, which are actually designed to be mounted on fields or roofs, can overwhelm balcony railings and cause instability.
Neighbors on a busy Schöneberg street report feeling concerned about the installation of these huge panels on balcony railings. "We've always known it's only a matter of time before something bad happens,", said one resident. "We've always wondered how safe it is to mount such heavy items on such fragile railings."
Experts warn about the risk of glass breakage and the fall of the panels, which can cause injury to people. Also, the risk of fire and increase the wind load on the balcony is considered a concern.
Police strongly advise checking building codes, fire codes and residential building insurance policies before installing such heavy items. It is recommended that permission be obtained from the appropriate authorities to ensure that the safety of buildings and the public is maintained.
Residents are now demanding that something be done about the installation of such giant panels on balcony railings before a tragic accident occurs. They appeal to those responsible to find safe alternatives as soon as possible, such as small, lightweight and flexible solar panelsthat are only a fraction of the weight.
Let's act before it's too late and a tragic accident happens. Let's make sure the safety of buildings and the public always comes first."
Ultra-light, flexible and only a few millimeters thin solar power plants, such as those offered by Solarclip, create a safe alternative here at the same price as balcony power plants with extremely heavy, rigid glass-coated giant panels.
