DANGER: 

CAUTION:  

DANGER: 

SOLAR ROOF MAINTENANCE

Solar Roof requires routine maintenance.  Minor care on your part can ensure better system performance.

Shade Management

Shading on your roof can hinder electricity production. Keep trees or other tall plants trimmed to prevent shade 

on your Solar Roof tiles.

Cleaning Solar Roof Tiles

Debris or dirt on the tiles can hinder energy production. Tesla recommends that a professional perform any 
cleaning service required. Please contact 

Tesla Customer Care

 for guidance.

DO NOT 

walk or stand on the roof ! 

DO NOT 

use detergents, abrasives, solvents, or other types of cleaning products. If you decide to clean your 

Solar Roof, you can hose down your roof with water at standard garden hose pressures. Direct the spray or 

flow of water in the same direction that water typically flows on your roof (down) and avoid directly spraying 

the front edge of tiles, or between tiles. Where dust or debris has built up, or for problematic areas, use a 
telescoping soft brush (similar to soft brushes you use to wash your car) to gently wipe the roof surface.

Snow or Ice

Snow or ice may accumulate on your Solar Roof during snow storms. Accumulated snow or ice may slide or 
fall, resulting in property damage or bodily harm. Please contact 

Tesla Customer Care

 for guidance.
