[0002] Solar panels are devices that absorb sunlight and convert solar radiation energy directly or indirectly into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. Compared with ordinary batteries and rechargeable batteries, solar cells are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly green products. Currently, crystalline silicon materials (including polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon) are the main photovoltaic materials.

[0003] In snowy weather, if there is thick snow on the solar panels, the snow will not only block the solar panels from irradiating light, but also if the snow is too thick, the weight of the snow will crush the solar panels.
