Wrenches,

Has anybody come across an analysis of the potential damage to a flat
roof from snow on solar modules melting to form an ice layer on the
roof and then forming subsequent layers as more snow melts or slides
down the modules?  If the sheet gets thick enough then the next bit of
water could form ice layer under edge of panel and lift it up.  Seems
very unlikely to me but the prospect has questions....and prospect
questions must be answered.

Thanks!

Lee
