I read a story recently that insurance companies are raising rates or refusing to cover fire for structures with rooftop solar. The firemen can't open up the roof as is often needed, not to mention they can't easily move around on the roof, and have to worry about live power they can't easily shut off (many modern installs have micro-inverters on each panel, so you're dealing with A/C, not dc)

Reason: Corrected "micro-rectifiers" to "micro-inverters"
