The main reasons your solar panels may not be charging your battery include faulty connections, insufficient sunlight, a defective battery, improper system size, or incorrect settings on the solar charge controller.
Operating a generator with insufficient liquid ingress protection in the rain risks electrical hazards and equipment damage. In extreme cases, this could create a fire hazard.
In conclusion, photovoltaic cells are inefficient due to material limitations, energy loss, cost and manufacturing limitations, thickness and design limitations, environmental factors, and the need for further research and development.
While it's true that photovoltaic systems don't inherently store energy, modern solutions have turned this limitation into a marketing myth. The real question isn't "can we store solar energy" but "how many ways can we store it?".
It must meet the four requirements of 690. For example, it can be a disconnect per 690. Pay particular attention to where these can be located and how they can be controlled.
While it's certainly possible to walk on solar panels, it is not recommended. Solar panels are made of very thin and fragile tempered glass, and the weight and pressure of a footstep could easily crack the glass or pop it out from its frame.
