This is for days when it snows. Once it falls, all that remains is to wait for the sun to return. “When there is sunshine, even in cold weather, the snow melts more quickly on the solar panels than on the roof,” notes the specialist. “Production will therefore resume quickly.”
Solar panel owners saw their production drop by more than 10% in 2024: the least sunny year in the last 25 years
Remove snow by climbing onto the roof: at your own risk
But if you lack patience or the layer of snow is too thick, it is always possible to climb on the roof, with all due caution because the conditions risk being very slippery and dangerous, or even call for a call. to a specialist to clean your installation.
Photovoltaic panels: how to best maintain your installation to maintain good performance
The first tip is to avoid at all costs pouring water, whether hot, lukewarm or even cold, on the panels. As with car windshields, you risk causing cracks.
The best is to use a squeegee or a brush with soft, flexible bristles to avoid scratching the cells.
But is the game really worth it when we know that the production of solar panels in winter – and particularly in January – is barely 5% of annual production?
Can I get compensation because because of Ores’ work, I no longer benefit from the production of my solar panels?
You be the judge.
