The majority of American PV generation is from ground mounted solar farms, not rooftop systems. I have looked many times for statistics about worker mortality in solar farm construction, sadly to no avail. I believe that deaths-per-TWh is significantly lower for solar farms. Dangerous falls are much less common during the construction of large farms and panels in farms tend to be more productive than those mounted on rooftops.
In California, for example, distributed rooftop solar installations generated 10.7 TWh in 2017 while solar farms generated 23.1 TWh.
