Should you remove snow off panels?

[pvdude]

What about removing Frost?
We had this phenomenon occur last week.
First time this season.
It could happen again!
Terrified, we were rummaging around the house looking for Parkas and such.
After spotting this on the roof, I was afraid to journey to the ground mount array and
see the condition. I have read that “Frost” can “bite”.
The horror……

Here in NC, snow is a rarity… but we’ve had two days of snow/sleet this month… once a few days ago, and again last night. Meh… it’ll melt. I think todays high is 44…

44 is balmy , it was -9 this morning and haven’t seen my solar panels in over a week
I’m running the Honda ?

-28 at sunrise-ish, only -1 on Mount Washington

 

[Wellbuilt]

-28 is a bad number , I think our record cold was -27 but i don’t remember it being that cold in my area .
I was ski patrol in Killington Vermont in the 80s and there where some -30 days but no one was sking

Wow where are you located ?

 

[12VoltInstalls]

Lowell, Vermont. Remote, high elevation.

 

[Wellbuilt]

I’m at 2300’ but there are a few peaks 3300 or so around me cold and snowy up there

I did try pumping current into the panels to melt some very light snow on a morning when it was pretty close to freezing. What I thought was a reasonable amount of current for the conditions didn't even phase the panels. Though possible, it just didn't seem worth the expenditure of energy.

Does the water go down the crapper counterclockwise? ?

I lived in Newell SD for 3 years...
Regularly got 40below and colder...
Several nights-100 with wind chill...
It's cold there... lowest elevation is around 6000' wind is usually around 60mph...

I bet you are happy to be well south of that frozen zone.

Being able to wear gloves in winter is a plus…

Straight down the guts. We don't have those weirdo filled up before flushing dunnies.
