Effortless Steps to Reduce Energy Usage
As the days are shorter now, you can expect your solar panels to produce less energy than they did in the summer. You can pay a higher utility bill (which is almost inevitable, especially during the holiday season), or take some measures to reduce energy usage:
While snow does easily slide off of the panels, as demonstrated in the video, it can sometimes accumulate and prevent your panels from working. If you're concerned about snow suddenly falling from your roof, you can install a snow guard.
When there's a thick enough layer, all you have to do is rake it away with a dedicated soft snow brush. An abrasive brush or a rake may damage your panels.
