ProDave Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Same here thick snow on ours. I thought I would sweep it off this morning but it has had too many freeze thaw cycles and is now solid ice. It will be gone on Sunday when Bert gets here.

SteamyTea Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Why not fit a trace heater on the bottom of each module. Generally we don't have a lot of snow, but for the few quid it costs, and the probability that it will get rid of the snow, may be worthwhile.

I think vertical bifacial is the future if you have the unshaded space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less PV and more heating, loose, loose for me, win, win for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russdl Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It certainly makes a difference, just having the sun show it's face reduces our heating requirements, the PV is an added benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
