There are a few key steps you can take to remove ice from solar panels on your roof:

Use a soft-bristled brush or broom to gently remove any snow or ice from the surface of the panels. Be careful not to damage the panels or the mounting hardware.

If the ice is particularly thick or difficult to remove, you can use a mixture of warm water and a mild soap or detergent to soften the ice. Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge to apply the solution, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the panels.

If the ice is still not coming off, you can try using a hairdryer or a portable heater to gently melt the ice. Be careful not to overheat the panels, as this can cause damage.

If the ice is still not coming off, you may need to call a professional to safely remove it. In some cases, it may be necessary to use specialized equipment to remove ice from the panels without damaging them.

It is important to avoid using sharp tools or other implements that could damage the panels or their mounting hardware. If you are unsure about how to safely remove ice from your solar panels, it is best to consult with a professional who can provide guidance and assistance.
