I was connecting 3 strings of solar panels to ground. I started connecting the panels frames together BEFORE making the actual ground connection and i got a small electrical shock when i touched the back of one panels with my bare (and a bit sweaty) hands. It was probably 40-50 v dc but i was surprised, and it was not an instant shock of static electricity, it was continous like touching a 40-50 volt battery.
Why an ungrounded solar panel is a shock hazard? I was not touching the terminals, and the terminals were not touching the frame or anything. Is indicative of a damaged or malfunctioning panel? After making the actual ground connection it went away and the strings are working fine (or so appears). I am trying to figure this one out but i just dont understand it.
