This winter, it would be interesting to see how the solar panels are able to shed the snow.....


Thanks Scott!

Images like this give me a good bit of confidence. As you can see anything that faces South just does not hold snow. That little generator shed in the pic doesn't "shed" the snow. There is no pile up under it. Actually, you can see where the snow in a ring around the base of the shed has melted due to the shed putting off heat gained from the sun. It's the same with the boulder in the background. The sun is so intense up there it doesn't take much and the snow melts. The MT Solar mount will let me tilt the panels just a hair shy of totally vertical. I won't put them there but they will be extremely steep. When tilted up like that the bottom of the panels is still 7' off the ground. That combined with them being black and the 10" black steel pipe under them is gonna kill the snow, IMO.
