Ha! ;>)
Shows what you know. Maryland NIST campus has a few acres of solar panels for campus power. The recent snow/ice storm covered the panels for most of the week, long after roads and ground snow had melted. Passed by several times a day and never saw any clearing crew or evidence of cleared panels.
The answer is more solar power! Direct sunlight to clear the ice and snow...only problem was temps remained at freezing or below with heavy overcast skies for a week. So their on-site generating plant kicked in until Mother Gaia allowed the sun to shine....funny that fact never appeared in local media. IIRC, 6 megawatt loss for 6-7 days.
ps. Governor Wolf must not have been around for the March 1993 Blizzard...or he's just plain stupid or corrupt...I thinks it's both.
You get it.
