[RE-wrenches] Snow Guards

[AE Solar]

Bill,

It's a comp roof @ 30 degrees. The array could be as close as 20" to the
bottom edge of the roof. Two rows of panels in portrait on two different
roof sections. It's a 7.2kW system. We are in NY and snow seems to be
completely variable these last few years but looks like the average has
been about 60" traditionally.

The snowguards were an afterthought, and I'm not sure if I can switch the
panels to run in landscape...which would be preferable if snow is going to
shed slower.
