Shortage of Solar Panel Technicians

Peter Brooks

I was reading an article in today's IET on-line magazine about the shortage of technicians to work on solar panels, heat pump etc and it struck me that all these jobs involve working on equipment that operates at relatively high DC or AC voltages.

Is this shortage of people willing to join these professions, due to fear of being zapped?

Most kids and teens are only used to operating with low voltage equipment (cellphones, PC's, circuit boards).

    Hello Lisa:

    Real life is too complex (messy) to be fitted into a single box. It spills out in all directions.

    Right now I am concerned about the mental health of varies parts of the general population, due to excessive stress and fear.

    Some of this fear has been created by engineering developments.
