Strong winds from an East Coast Low lashing the Hunter have blown two solar panels off the roof on the University of Newcastle's Q Building at Honeysuckle.
The Police rescue and Firefighters were called to the building at the corner of Honeysuckle Drove and Worth Place just before midday on Friday to find two solar panels had been dislodged and lying on the ground next to the building.
Newcastle Fire Command says no-one's been injured and a restricted access zone has been set up.
Maintenance staff from the university's Callaghan have been called into to isolate the electricity supply.
The westbound lanes of Honeysuckle Drive are closed as crews use a Fire Brigade Ladder platform to inspect the remaining solar panels on the roof.
