Solar panel strings use high voltage DC wiring. You should get it 
inspected for safety in any case. High voltage DC is very much more 
dangerous than ordinary mains wiring, because DC arcs don't quench easily. 
It sounds like you're mounting the panels at ground level where children 
might have access. I suggest that failing to fence the panels securely 
would be a very bad idea.
