Hi Madan,
Due to the roof being very low, no harnesses or edge protection were required according to OHS laws in South Australia. An understandable observation nonetheless!

For more details about the microgrid, this article was posted by Sean LePoidevin from Apex Energy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/solar-battery-microgrid-iconic-remote-australian-sean-lepoidevin/

Also, Bernie Dombroski, S-5! distributor and product trainer posted this article about the project, and about installing rail-less solar PV: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tools-installing-rail-less-solar-pv-arkaroola-bernie-dombroski/?trackingId=YT96ZQDUSmGhUQRCpByuaA%3D%3D

Hope this helps!

My observation on the erection workers has been that they were not wearing any safety wearables during performing erection work.
