<div dir="ltr">As an aside, I often notice arrays that fill a roof (gutter to ridge) that are often located in places I would assume it would not be good for snow to shed (i.e. a walkway or driveway). I'm wondering if this is something that is communicated with customers? Do those of you in snowy areas sacrifice size of an array to compensate for this or just come to an understanding with a customer that this is a hazard they (or their cars) could face.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Adam Katzman<br>Autonomous Energies<br>4872 State Route 9G <br>Germantown NY, 12526<br><a href="http://www.autonomousenergies.com" target="_blank">www.autonomousenergies.com</a><br>(518) 567-1468<br><br></div></div></div>

<div>is it a metal roof, comp? pitch? where is the bottom of the array with

<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Hey Wrenchers,
<div><br>
<div>I'm looking into snow guards for an array that would shed snow right into
a driveway. So far I'm only familiar with Alpine. If anyone has other
recommendations let me know? </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I haven't had to use any sort of snow guard so far, but I guess I should
be prepared for winter production to really take a hit?</div>
