OAITW r.2.0

(28,529 posts) Tue Dec 20, 2022, 05:31 PM Dec 2022

I spent the afternoon squeeging the snow off my solar panels. [View all]

At least 2 feet of snow on my garage roof where the panels are locating. I need a step ladder to get into a position where I can pull the snow done. In doing so, the snow falls all round me. Got about 50% clear, will finish tomorrow.

Next year, I need to design a system using (4) 2 x 12 planks that can be run the length of the garage, approx. 6 ft off the ground that will make the snow removal easy and can be easily set-up and dismantled after snow season.
