Revisiting some issues that are not brought to the forefront when Solar "Farms are being promoted.

Broken Conduit. A broken conduit poses danger of shock as well as chaos on the operating system as charges are uncontained. When the construction of a site is finished and the plant goes into operation, earth movements may happen as the ground stabilizes. These movements can cause broken conduit and other issues with cables. Measuring isolation on cables ensures underground runs are damage free. This is important because broken conduit can cause a cable to break or damage the insulation which can cause a fire and personal hazards.
