I live near Philadelphia and we received a lot of snow this year. Sometimes my panels are covered for up to 5 days with minimal power production. Thinking of a way to get that snow off my roof. Came across these guys http://roofrake.com/Productpages/snowpro2.asp looking at the 30' extension pole the the rubber device they claim made for solar panels. $150 seems like a hefty cost. Anyone here have this model and if so is it effective in removing snow from your panels?
