Hello Wrenches,

We are trying to understand what will happen on a fairly steep roof (34 degree pitch) when snow comes off a large array and hits ice breakers on the metal roof. Before the ice breakers were installed on the bottom couple of feet of the roof, the gutters experienced damage from sheets of snow and ice sliding down.

The concern is that large sheets of snow coming off the array could overshoot the ice breakers and take down the gutters. The proposed array will be approximately 22 feet along the direction of the pitch.

Does anyone have experience with this issue or any possible solutions?

Thank you,

Drake
