Should I Remove Snow From My Solar Panels? | BCS Cleaning Specialists

Solar panels are designed to be outside and to deal with the elements to an extent. Snow doesn’t generally need specialist help to be removed – panels are designed so that snow will usually slide off on its own as it melts.

If it seems like the snow is intent on making your panels its permanent home, you can use a specialist tool like a solar panel snow rake, which makes it easier to remove snow on solar panels without damaging them. Some people make the mistake of trying to use a standard broom or shovel to remove snow from solar panels, but this runs the risk of serious damage, as these non-specialist tools can scratch the delicate panel glass and reduce power production.

If snow build-up is super-heavy, has refrozen into ice or has left a nasty residue, it might be time to call in the pros.
