Safety with Solar Panels and High Winds

If you have solar panels fitted to your roof, take care if tree branches have come down during the recent high winds.

Damage to a roof by debris can interfere with normal solar panel operation. There can be electrical hazards with solar panels, which can generate an electrical current regardless of whether or not the electrical supply from the State grid has been turned off.

Solar panels can continue to generate electricity during daylight hours. If you are unsure about the state of your solar panels, contact the installer or get the advice of a licensed electrician. For more information on solar power safety click here.
