When your solar production drops, it’s tempting to grab a ladder and a bucket to handle the job yourself. However, at Nomadic Home Services, we believe you shouldn't have to risk your life to save a few dollars on your electric bill.

​

Solar cleaning involves two of the most dangerous elements in home maintenance: extreme heights and high-voltage electricity.

​

The Reality of Roof Falls

Every year, thousands of homeowners are seriously injured or killed in ladder and roof-related accidents. A single slip on a steep pitch or a gust of wind while on a ladder can change everything in an instant.

​

• The "Slip" Factor: Solar panels are made of tempered glass. When you add water and soap to that surface, it becomes as slick as an ice rink.

​

• Height Liability: Most residential roofs in San Diego are two stories high. Without professional fall-arrest systems, there is zero margin for error.

​

The "Electric Chair" on Your Roof

Many homeowners don't realize that solar panels cannot be "turned off." Even if you flip the breaker at your electrical panel, the solar cells themselves are still generating power as long as the sun is shining.

​

• Lethal Voltage: A standard residential solar grid can carry between 300 to 600 volts of Direct Current (DC). For perspective, this is the same voltage range used in an electric chair.

​

• Water + Electricity: Spraying a garden hose onto a high-voltage electrical grid is a recipe for disaster. If there is a cracked seal or a frayed wire you can't see, the water can act as a conductor, leading to a lethal arc flash or electrocution.
