[RE-wrenches] Tilt Racking vs Roof Mount for Shedding snow

[frenergy]

Hey Dan,

        Of course we need to discuss the surroundings of any particular roof...valleys, vents, type of top-down clamps, are the PVs at, below or slightly above the ridge of the roof, etc. I assume we're talking about a metal roof?  Some roofs see more warmth than others from the structure to which they are mounted.  If its a comp roof, all bets are off.

  Hi Guys, I have a customer who seems convinced that tilt up racking sheds snow better than conventional roof mounted arrays (irregardless of angle or panel manufacturer). Anyone else find this is true? Thanks db
