Pieter: Interesting. One would think the Coast Guard would have access to the space lasers. These should easily melt off any snow accumulation. William Miller Miller Solar 17395 Oak Road, Atascadero, CA 93422 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com CA Lic. 773985 *From:* RE-wrenches [m

Re: [RE-wrenches] Panel installation in snow country 0.02

Starting last winter on Powder mornings I have been using my Milwaukee M18 leaf blower to clear the truck of snow. This conversation got me thinking about using this for my tracking array too... Thanks again for the conversation _

Howie, We have never tried active ice melting systems, but did have a client ( USCG) try various methods and ultimately gave up for a variety of reasons. Based on that hearsay evidence I would advise against attempting any sort of active Ice melting system. For what it is worth wind farm operato

I always love how what I imagine to be a simple question often sparks a much wider, interesting conversation on this list. In this instance, I am dealing with an off- grid client in a colder, snowier, cloudier section of Vermont, but not an extreme environment. The panels are mounted on a fixed, 35

Re: [RE-wrenches] De-icing panels off grid

That's difficult to say because its more a function of weight than depth of snow.  It's not called Sierra Cement here in the Sierras for fun, sometimes 4" of snow can weight as much as a foot.  We had 3 feet of "regular" snow (yes, 3 feet) slide of a top-of-pole array with no damage to the pane

Re: [RE-wrenches] De-icing panels off grid

Yes, in deep snow country tall pole mounts can be expensive... especially with enough room below so the sliding snow never meets the bottom edge of the array. My home system has 5 pole mounts with the bottom edges ~6' above the ground. Now that engineering is mandated, this adds more expense to ens
