<p>Is it possible the snow load broke the glass, then the snow
shear/ ice dam tore the bottom edge off? or just the ice dam
pulls the bottom edge off? Just haven't seen that type of damage
here in Colorado/ New Mexico/ Wyoming. I think its much drier
here overall, so perhaps our snow is lighter weight. Heavy Spring
Snows seem to melt off but with climate changes, we might start
seeing new types of damage.<br>

<p>I've got a customer that is pushing me to lower the
bottom edge of a multipole rack array to make it less
visible from his house (which is .6 miles away!). Its 4
PVs in landscape, I currently have it designed with the
lower edge at 3.5 feet off the ground which is actually
questionable with the 2-3 feet of snow we get here
sometimes. Flat ground, 25 degree pitch.<br>

<p> If anybody has pics (or words of wisdom) of
the bottom edge of a PV frame being ripped of due to snow
not being able to shed properly from <i>this </i><i>type
of installation (or pole mount would help)</i>, I would
appreciate the help.</p>
