Snow on roof

[cccougar]

Hi to all,
We live near Philly, and just recently received close to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow. It has been a brutal winter with snow fall totals. Should I be concerned with that much snow on the roof? We have a cover on it (not a blue tarp) and I'm thinking it will help with protection, but the shear weight is a concern. Should I get up there and shovel? Thanks.

Hi,

I just remove the snow from the solar panels so the batteries can maintain a charge.

If it has not caved in yet, do nothing. You run a bigger risk of damaging the roof by shoveling than waiting time out for it to melt.
