Q: How do you clean snow off solar panels?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking at <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-snow-off-solar-panels.htm">how to remove snow from solar panels</a>, heat from the sun usually melts the snow within a few days. However, snow removal might be necessary for winter solar power production in areas with deep snow during the winter. There are brushes with telescoping handles and gentle heads to brush away snow. It&rsquo;s best to stay on the ground if possible and avoid using tools that could scratch the surface of the solar panels, like a snow shovel or broom.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove icicles from my roof?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to leave the icicles on your roof and wait for the warmer weather to melt them away naturally. You should only remove icicles if you believe they&rsquo;re heavy enough to cause damage to your home or anyone who enters it.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if there is too much snow on your roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">How much snow can a roof hold</a>? The answer could help you to avoid roof collapse&mdash;a worst-case scenario, of course. For most roofs, you can expect it to withstand four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or two to three feet of a mix of old and new snow. However, your roof will only be able to handle one inch of ice. The actual weight capacity of your roof may vary, so check with whoever built it for exact details.</p></div>

Q: Can I use hot water to melt my driveway?

• <div><p>You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you&rsquo;re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there&rsquo;s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you&rsquo;ll want to keep the water away from your car.</p></div>
