Solar panel and snow load
I would like to put a solar panel on a RV that I leave in North MN. Will a panel take the snow load and -40 temps? I know it will not charge under the snow but should charge in the fall and spring.

Mr Wizard- The guests will not use it of a winter. Now doing nothing the battery stays in the good on the trailer battery check leaving it sit from Sept until May. I could leave it on a battery maintainer but was looking for a way for the guests not to have to put the battery in before use. The battery would be fully charged before the snow hit and the snow would be gone before anyone would use it in the spring and should have the battery back up to full charge. The battery maintainer would be $125. less then the solar.
