we had our first real snow of the year and it's pretty lethargic I mean this is
December 9th and usually we've gotten about a foot of snow by the middle of
November well either way finally gets to I get to try something out today because
what this happens when it snows solar panels do very little output now
eventually they will all melt and clear all the snow off on their own but the
problem is it takes a while and you miss a whole day's worth of production
production is it too much in the winner and this time of the year I'll get about
10 kilowatt hours a day solar so we were at Costco of all places
couple weeks ago this awesome little kit it's called the titan snow rate with
extendable pole was a kit this is can you attached like that they're only 20
bucks sixteen point four foot or five meter extendable pole usually these
poles are thirty bucks on their own open her up for twenty bucks that pays for
itself back and what to snows farms
that's it but what it did this insight where it's considerably warmer probably
only taken about three minutes I did it outside so it took five minutes my tools
wait we're going up to the side of the house or over to the side of the house
see what we can clear from the ground and if not to see what we can clear from
a ladder all right well here's the roof by shot we're gonna get without the
drone and why didn't I think of that just use the drone I think I will but
one other thing is most of these roof rakes most sees roof race you got a
screw and unscrew to extend these whereas this one's quite a bit simpler
just push push the little button and extend until you get to your desired
length
and that actually seems to do pretty good a lot of the problem with these
also is depending on the roof of your house it's just really hard to reach so
let's get the drone out pop it up there and get some aerial while I'm cleaning
well despite the roof rake not being a soft material which I mean really
appeared to be on the box but you know looks are deceiving actually was a major
bonus on that bonus but a major pass for this product for clearing the solar
panels a misconception inner solar panels are weak and fragile and can
break just like someone throwing a stone at your window that is not true
ever remember they're on the roof your house and they got to be up there 24/7
365 through every season rain sleet snow hurricanes if you live in Florida
hurry canes hit the infomercial joke but either way this was a major product pass
this is not gonna scratch or shatter your solar panels unless you're really
take it go slamming it down and chances are you're not going to do that just
take your time now in the video you saw me pulling the snow directly towards me
while standing on the ladder we have very little snow this time around but be
mindful do not avalanche the snow directly towards yourself if you do have
to go up on a ladder to clear off clear off sections off to
the side move your ladder and then doer directly in front of where you were
standing so major pass link to the product to
Costco is in the description box below not sure if you have to be a Costco
member or not but they have plenty of them there at either at the stores or
online and I believe it's free shipping online
