Solar Detach and Reset Information

Colorado storms are legendary. One day your solar panels are basking in sunshine. The next day, a foot of snow arrives like an uninvited houseguest. Then the sun reappears, melting snow from the underside of your panels until…

WHOOSH.
An entire sheet of ice slides off your roof like a runaway sled.

That might sound entertaining until you see the damage it causes to gutters, decks, cars, and—worst case—people.

This is where solar snow guards come in. Small devices. Big impact.

At Solar RNR, we help homeowners across Colorado stay safe before the first storm hits. Let’s dive into why snow guards matter and how to get them installed on your solar system.

🧊 What Exactly Are Snow Guards?

Snow guards (also called snow stops) are strategically installed on the lower edge of your solar panels. Their purpose:

• Break up snow into smaller, safer pieces
• Prevent sudden “roof avalanches”
• Reduce weight and impact on gutters and walkways

We install high-quality Snow Dog style guards because they:

✔ Don’t trap debris
✔ Don’t interfere with production
✔ Are engineered for steep, snowy roofs like ours

Think of them as a safety net — unobtrusive, affordable, and highly effective.

❄️ Why Snow Slides Off Solar Panels So Fast

Solar panels are smooth on purpose. They want sunlight. They hate friction.

That means snow melts unevenly. The bottom layer warms first, creating a slippery slide that sends snow flying off as one giant slab.

Perfect for ski resorts.
Not so great for your gutters.

This can cause:

• Bent or ripped gutters
• Cracked fascia trim
• Broken patio furniture
• Deck destruction
• Damage to plants and equipment below
• Safety hazards for family, guests, and delivery workers

We’ve seen all of these firsthand. Repair bills aren’t pretty.

⚠️ The Real-World Risks of Skipping Snow Guards

Many homeowners don’t think about snow guards until they’ve seen the damage — or paid for it.

Without snow guards, your home is at risk of:

🚫 Gutter destruction
🚫 Dents and shattered items below
🚫 Water intrusion from damaged eaves
🚫 Injuries to family or visitors
🚫 Avoidable insurance claims

A single slide can cost more than an entire snow guard system.

Prevention is substantially cheaper than repair.

Can snow guards be added to existing solar systems?
Absolutely. Most of our installs are retrofits.

Only where snow poses a hazard: above gutters, decks, walkways, driveways, and lower roof sections.

How long do they last?
20+ years with proper installation and materials.
