Encourage students to drink plenty of water and wear light-colored, loose fitting clothing and/or sunblock, as appropriate. Monitor students for side effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat.
• Warn students against looking directly at the sun during the experiment.
• Remind students that the Solar Panels can have sharp edges and can cause an injury if mishandled or misused.
