Boondocking site at 7,500ft in the Sandia Mtns. Just east of Albuquerque.

Forecast called for some precip, but I was’t expecting this much. I’ve swept 9" off the panels so far.

    if you can adjust your panel angle to be steeper during snow season, it helps a ton with shedding. around 60° is ideal for most snow conditions, makes it slide right off once the sun hits it. i learned this the hard way after my first winter boondocking lol

      Agreed. In my case the panels are flat-mounted and I do my best to avoid snow for other reasons. I get caught about 1x every two years.
