A solar panel shut-off system for remotely shutting down an electrical connection between a solar panel and a controller or a battery includes a vehicle having a rooftop, a base, and a sidewall extending therebetween. A solar panel is mounted to the rooftop. A battery is electronically coupled to the solar panel. A controller is electronically coupled to the solar panel and the battery to regulates a flow of electricity between the battery and the solar panel. A shutdown switch is electrically coupled to the solar panel and the controller. The shutdown switch selectively opens an electrical circuit between the solar panel and the controller. A remote activation mechanism is electronically coupled to the shutdown switch and triggers the shutdown switch to open the electrical circuit. The remote activation mechanism is generally positioned no more than 5.0 feet above the base of the vehicle.
