What to do about snow on your solar panels

Dan Diehl

I get a fair amount of questions about what to do about the snow covering the solar panels. Here in Durango Colorado, we get a fair amount of snow, but we also get LOTS of sun :)

I generally advise to leave the solar panels alone and let the sun warm them up and shed the snow, but if you really want to harvest the extra power from your solar system (or you just like to play in the snow), then make sure you use a plastic or foam roof rake, not metal. You don’t want to scratch or damage the solar panels with a metal roof rake or anything that would scratch glass.

Winter months have the shortest days to begin with, so you’re not losing as much as a nice long summer day if your panels are covered with snow. So sit back and let the sun do the work and enjoy the fresh snow!
