I live in NJ, so probably do not get as much snow, but we do get our fair share, and most of the time the snow just slides right off our solar panels within a day of a storm. I'm sure it depends on the angle of your roof, but the smooth surface of the panels allows this. It can be dangerous if you are below, we are having some kind of spikes installed soon to hold the snow in certain places so it doesn't fall on anyone. Anyway we love having the cost savings, have had no bill the past year except for a few winter months. Now we have started mining so we are going to have a slight bill but are thinking about adding more panels. Good luck.

Nice to hear from someone who actually have experience with solar. We get alot of snow in Michigan and snow tend to stick on the roof of houses. If a house doesn't have a snow on a roof around here, it's usually a sign of bad insulation job or no insulation.
That is my goal eventually. I don't want to keep paying money to the electric companies.
