If only power generation is considered, the sooner the snow on the solar panel falls, the better. However, most of the houses in urban areas do not have enough space around the buildings and between the houses next door.

In this case, if the snow on the solar panel falls outside your own yard, it may cause damage or injury to the buildings, goods, and pedestrians next door.

The accident cases caused by the falling snow of solar panels include “sunken roof”, “broken trees in the neighbor’s yard”, “damaged outdoor water heaters and other equipment”, “damaged balcony roof”, “injured children”, etc.

In areas where snow may fall, measures shall be taken to prevent accidents caused by snow when setting solar panels on the roof of houses. The specific measures vary according to the climate conditions and roof standards in various regions such as snowfall volume and snow quality.

Therefore, it is best to consult the photovoltaic power generation system setter, builder, and roof builder who are familiar with the local situation.

Even if the roof adopts the countermeasure of “preventing snow from sliding”, the snow may still fall due to different meteorological conditions. The surface of the solar panel is covered with glass, so the snow is easy to slide. In addition, once it starts to slide, a large amount of snow may fly far away.

Therefore, I would like to remind you that when the snowfall is heavy, when the weather improves and the snow begins to melt, do not park under the eaves, and pay attention not to stay under the eaves.

In addition, it also called on not to “clean up” the snow on the solar panel. Because it is easy to slip when working on the solar panel, and the solar panel may be damaged.

When it is necessary to “clear the snow”, it is best to discuss with professionals familiar with photovoltaic power generation systems, such as setters, builders, and roof builders.
