The (Solar) PanelWarmer System
NextStep Electric introduces the (Solar) PanelWarmer. Solar panels covered with snow? No need to wait for it to melt, or potentially damage your panels with a snow rake, or even spend the day trying to knock the snow off with a Nerf ball; just adhere our warming unit to the back of any panel and flick the switch. Easy!
NextStep Electric has partnered with a component company, STEP Heat to create an easy to use, easy to retro-fit solution for all solar panels in use today.
