To all techies, what if a bleeder resister, similar to what is used on a capacitor, was in parallel with the PV strings or array? That should pull down any high voltage from a low illuminance light source.

On a job several years ago to finish I worked after dark. It was a full moon, and a street light was nearby I got bit from a 500 Voc module string. I am sure I did not have 500 V but it only takes 20 ma. To be deadly. I did not get my volt ohm meter out but I should have.

At night, will the light from the flames or the fire fighters' flood lights energize the array to a dangerous potential? Any light you can shed (pun intended) would be most welcome. Shine On!
