I’d rather fall into water than pavement. It’s gonna be a much shorter fall than rooftop solar too. Im not sure what you’ve got cooked up in your imagination of what this looks like, but it’s not towering workspaces over turbulent depths, with wires hanging everywhere. It’s some rigid panels bolted in a few feet above tepid water. If you’re still worried about the workers, well cleaning these panels can be and often is an automated process. A simple one at that.
I just do not understand why falling risk is only a deal breaker for working a few feet above water, and not shit like wind turbines or rooftop solar, or any of the crazy amounts of high up places where electrical maintenance is done. I’ve done electrical work too and would love to work this close to the ground. If it’s any amount of fall risk I can tether, but this is just stretching too far to make something sound dangerous, do you just avoid pools in general?
Why is falling only a risk over water?

Tell me you’ve gone to proposals for rooftop solar and denounced it as being too hard to clean due to risk of falling
