Solar panel

Live in Michigan. Need to do anything special for the solar panels in the wintertime. New to solar. We have Jayco Jayfeather micro 166FBS. Thanks

Not an expert but make sure you pull the fuse or disconnect the solar from your controller before you take the battery off the RV.

Should be ok as long as ice or something doesn't fall on it and crack it.

Only thing I can think of is if you intend to keep battery hooked up or not. There is a procedure for disconnecting the battery. Solar panels should be disconnected from the charge controller before disconnecting battery. Battery should be connected to charge controller before connecting solar panels.
As far as the panels themselves they should be fine.
