Solar panel maintenance and cleaning

Maintaining rooftop solar panels is almost always a high-risk task. They are always located at height, need to be accessed frequently, often located near unprotected edges or fragile surfaces such as skylights and the consequences of a fall from a roof are severe.

If it’s not practicable to move the solar panels to a safer location, ask Workplace Access & Safety to advise on the most suitable fall prevention equipment:

• Perimeter guardrail
• Fold down guardrails that preserve building aesthetics
• Roof anchors, static lines and harness systems
• Safe access to the roof, with stairs, fixed ladders, access hatches and walkways
• Rail systems
• Static lines

Workplace Access & Safety can also review new solar installations to ensure they do not create new fall hazards or make existing fall prevention systems dangerous.
