Solar Panels on Residential Building in Toronto Collapse
September 19, 2017
Engineers have been called to inspect some solar panels that collapsed on the roof of a residential building in Toronto’s east end.
The structure, located by the Don Valley Parkway and Eglinton Avenue East, had been collapsed for about a week ago, but police were only alerted when a pole fell to the ground Friday morning.
Wilfrid Blum, project manager and engineer in the solar industry, said this structure always looked like a flimsy, amateur job.
“[It’s] very dangerous,” Blum said. “That should never happen, something like this.”
The panels will likely have to be dismantled for safety, according to Toronto Police Service’s Sgt. David Dube. Until that happens, the scene has been secured and taped off.
