平均太阳能电池板可以承受大约800磅的雪荷载。在白雪皑皑的地区，这很棒，除了一件事：太阳能电池板有一个无摩擦的表面，它们经常同时释放堆积的雪。结果是屋顶雪崩。突然的雪滑可能导致财产损失和人员受伤。
有几家公司提供雪管理产品 – 一些专门用于太阳能电池板，另一些用于屋顶。例如，EcoFasten Solar的姊妹公司Alpine SnowGuards有一个夹紧面板框架的系统。
太阳能雪地垫允许冰雪积聚，坍塌并以有序的方式从面板表面缓缓滑落。该设备使用一个“T”螺母夹，可以安装在面板之间，与1/8英寸的距离很近。太阳能雪垫在屋顶表面的距离为1¼英寸，以防止遮挡。
该公司还生产Solar SnowMax，它安装在面板框架上。它在景观或人像面板上起到积雪路障的作用。它仅限于50-磅/平方码的区域。英尺或更少的雪荷载。较重的雪可能会损坏框架。
在某些情况下，安装在面板上的雪地管理系统可能还不够。可能需要几英寸高并且朝向屋顶边缘安装的路障或围栏系统。 Alpine SnowGuards还为其Snow Pad提供了一种改进，它创造了一种类似栅栏的结构，其中3/8英寸的杆沿着面板运行。
其他公司也生产积雪产品
S-5的ColorGard！
ColorGard控制雪的迁移，同时保持屋顶的外观颜色和完成匹配。 ColorGard的无穿透夹具附件保留了屋顶制造商的保修期。
SnoBlox的SnowBreaker
建议将SnowBreaker与PV面板配合使用。它将雪和冰分解成更安全，更小的碎片，同时仍让它从面板上脱落。它可以机械安装或使用粘合剂安装。

虽然雪栅栏不是真正的“太阳能防雪板”，但这样的栅栏已被证明对雪管理有效，只要承包商在屋檐下留下至少18至24英寸的边缘。

The average solar panel can support a snow load of about 800 lbs. In snowy areas, that’s great, except for one thing: Solar panels have a frictionless surface, and they often release piled-up snow all at once. The result is a rooftop avalanche. The sudden snow slide can cause damage to property and injury to people.
Several companies offer products for snow management – some specifically for solar arrays, others for roofs in general. Alpine SnowGuards, the sister company of EcoFasten Solar, for example, has a system that clamps to panel frames.
The Solar Snow Pad allows snow and ice to build up, slump and slowly slide off a panel’s surface in an orderly fashion. The device uses a “T” nut clamp that will fit between panels as close together as 1/8 in. Solar Snow Pads measure 1 ¼ in. off the roof surface to prevent shading.
The company also produces the Solar SnowMax, which attaches to a panel frame. It functions as a snow retention barricade on landscape- or portrait-oriented panels. It’s limited for use in areas with 50-lbs./sq. ft. or less snow load. Heavier snow could damage a frame.
In some cases, a panel-mounted snow management system may not be enough. A barricade or fence system, several inches high and mounted toward the edge of a roof, may be needed. Alpine SnowGuards also offers a modification for its Snow Pad that creates a fence-like structure with 3/8-inch rods running along a panel.
Other companies produce snow-retention products too.
ColorGard by S-5!
ColorGard controls snow migration while maintaining the appearance of a roof with color and finish matching. ColorGard’s penetration-free clamp attachment preserves the roof manufacturer’s warranty.
SnowBreaker by SnoBlox
SnowBreaker is recommended for use with PV panels. It breaks snow and ice into safer, smaller pieces while still letting it come off panels. It can be installed mechanically or with adhesives.
Snow Fence by Rocky Mountain Snow Guards
While Snow Fence is not a true “solar snow guard,” fences like this have proven effective for snow management, as long as the contractor leaves a minimum of 18 to 24 in. of edge exposed at the eave.
