Care & repairs

What should I do if a solar panel is cracked or broken?

Keep people away from the affected area, do not touch exposed wiring or wet electrical equipment, document what you can safely observe, and contact a qualified solar service provider. If there is fire, arcing, smoke, or immediate danger, contact emergency services.

Quick answer

The practical explanation

Keep people away from the affected area, do not touch exposed wiring or wet electrical equipment, document what you can safely observe, and contact a qualified solar service provider. If there is fire, arcing, smoke, or immediate danger, contact emergency services.

What to know

Three points to keep in mind

  • Do not attempt a temporary electrical repair yourself.
  • Record recent weather, alerts, and the time the damage was found.
  • Check warranty and insurance requirements before disposal or replacement.

For your home

A site-specific answer still matters

Solar results and service needs depend on the roof, equipment, shade, household electricity use, utility requirements, and the condition of the existing system. Use this guide as a starting point, then have the property and equipment evaluated before making a major decision.
