That reminds me of a thought I had on my way to work this evening.
We just received another 5 1/2" (@ 14 cm) of powdery snow today, and I pass a small solar array and I think of how short-changed it gets when covered with snow.
I was thinking, some kind of low-frequency vibration could shake all of that snow off of those solar panels.
Or am I crazy?
Should they just invite kids with their car stereos in to do the dirty work for them? (with no fear of being shot to death?)


Hows that for thread degredation?
