Though this sounds quite obvious but is worth reminding. Always refrain from handling solar panels when they&#8217;re powered on. Don\u2019t forget that the panels are producing electricity and distributing it to the power grid. Accordingly, thousands of volts run through the solar panels whenever they\u2019re on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During any kind of solar panel cleaning, you should always remember that not only can the electricity hurt or even kill you, but it may lead to a fire on your property as well. That is the reason why you need to reconfirm that the power is switched off whenever you\u2019re cleaning or inspecting them. Rather, what we suggest is that don\u2019t even go on your roof unless you are confirmed that the panels are turned off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Additional_Precaution_While_Cleaning\"><\/span>Take Additional Precaution While Cleaning\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned during the previous safety tip you don\u2019t do it daily, solar panels need very less maintenance. However, you&#8217;ve to clean them, particularly once or twice a year. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crystalsolarcleaning.com\/service\/solar-panel-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cleaning solar panels in California<\/a><\/strong> or any other location, all by yourself could be dangerous as you need to work on top of your roof. That\u2019s why you need to keep all the necessary pieces of equipment to safely get to and from the roof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While cleaning, ensure that you\u2019ve got a harness and safety helmet, along with a ladder or scaffolding to access the roof. Always clean every panel slowly, search for slippery spots after rinsing the panels, and try to be cautious about the weather. Pause your work if things are very windy or rainy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you understand that cleaning solar panels is not the safest task. That is why it is always better to hire a professional solar panel cleaning company like us as we have all the necessary safety gear and ideal cleaning equipment, making us the best option to maintain your panels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Precautions_During_Extreme_Weather\"><\/span>Take Precautions During Extreme Weather\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not be aware of how extensively your rooftops may be damaged due to adverse weather conditions. Accordingly, your solar panels could be vulnerable or risk-prone if your area is hit by a storm. High winds, hailstones, and heavy rainfall can damage panels and electrical systems. So, it is important to disconnect the system once you find that the weather has taken a turn for the worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-never-tamper-with-the-power-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Never_Tamper_with_the_Power_System\"><\/span>Never Tamper with the Power System\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very easy to power on and off solar panels. However, this should be your sole interaction with the power system. Ensure that you know how to switch them on or off, which should be simple enough from a marked box. But if you feel that you aren\u2019t sure, then contact the installation company for help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from that, never touch or tamper with the power system in any capacity. In the case of some kind of fault, call the installers and tell them to send a professional. You don\u2019t know if there are loose wires or faults. So, don&#8217;t touch the system except by powering on and off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a leading <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crystalsolarcleaning.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">solar panel cleaning company in California<\/a><\/strong>, we always ensure that we employ high-quality products that are categorically meant to clean solar panels with utmost safety.
