These people have to be professionalized, and safety comes first. A “well-executed” pre-inspection could have prevented this accident.
Again a tragedy that could have been avoided. Structural analysis and verification need to become mandatory for the implementation of photovoltaic systems. City halls, CREA'S, Fire Department, in some instance the requirement must be made. Otherwise we will have more and more losses (and even deaths) resulting from the savings of an analysis, which is often equivalent to the cost of a single panel.
