Solar Panel Installation
Safety First
If roof is too steep or too weak for you to work on safely you can:
Mount the solar panel on the eave of the roof while
standing on the ladder. We do NOT want you to risk
getting hurt.
Mount the solar panel on a post or build a structure
near the clinic to mount the solar panel and then
route the homerun cable into the clinic
Look
Identify any potential dangers.
This includes power lines,
skylights, wasps, bats, holes in the
roof, or rusty spots on the roof.
Be Aware
Ladder Safety
Do not touch electricity lines
with your body or ladder
Do not walk near or over
skylights
Avoid wasp nests, attics with
bats or rodents. They may harm
you during installation and can
also eat through cables.
Plan
Work safely — make a plan
with your team on how to
work safely and communicate
with your team

• When you use a ladder, be careful and make sure it is
stable before you climb
• Only one person should be on the ladder at a time
• When standing at the base of the ladder, your outstretched
arms should be able to reach the ladder
• Climb with your eyes facing the ladder
• Have someone hold the ladder
• When getting off the ladder onto the roof, step around the
ladder and not over the top of the ladder
