Solar Panel Placement on Roof

If those weren't so damn expensive they would be the hot ticket.

They are amazing panels though. This morning I took the snow off them but couldn't get about a 1/4" of crusty ice under the snow off them and I couldn't see much black under it. When it started snowing here Thursday afternoon it was about 36 degrees F and that's what caused the crusty ice under the seven inches that fell later. I planned to come back later in the day with a better ice scraper and get it off. But before I left I checked the meter and they were still cranking 5 amps through that ice. They might have done more but it was in float. When I came back there was only a little to do as the sun had melted most of it even though the high was only 15 degrees F today.
