Snow guard is an aluminum rail attached to the bottom edge of your solar modules to prevent snow from sliding off your panels in the winter.
The product is bolted securely to the panels, and is designed for Canadian climate zones.
Installing a snow guard on solar panels is crucial for preventing the sudden release of accumulated snow, which can slide off in large sheets and pose a danger to people, property, and landscaping below. Snow guards help distribute the snow more evenly as it melts, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring the safety of your home or business premises. Additionally, by controlling the snow melt, these guards can help protect the integrity of the solar panels and roof.
Snow guards are designed to blend seamlessly with the solar panel array, minimizing any impact on the visual appeal of your roof. These devices are typically low-profile and available in various colors to match or complement your panels, ensuring that they don't detract from the sleek, modern look of your solar installation. While the aesthetic impact is minimal, the functional benefits are significant, making snow guards a worthwhile investment.
Yes. Snow guards can be installed on existing solar panels, without needing to remove the panels from the roof.
The cost to install snow guards ranges from $500-$1,800 depending on the amount of panels requiring protection.
No! Snow guards are placed on the lowest row of panels in an array. Often less than half the panels require snow guards, and it's typically just installed in problem areas like above walkways, or areas where panels are close to roof edges.
Snow guards will not damage your roof. The design we use is mounted directly onto the panel using purpose built brackets. No roof penetrations required!
Snow guard can slightly reduce solar panel production at low sun angles. This is a marginal trade off to greatly reduce the risk of snow sliding and injuring someone.
Snow retention barriers are bolted onto the edge of the solar panels. Clamps are attached between every solar module and the barrier is affixed to the clamps.
