Have had them installed for 2 years in valleys of home. 5 feet long. Work great. No longer need to have them shoveled causing roof damage. Low consumption of electric & only plugged in during snow storms. Would have liked 8 ft units but could not deliver to my address. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solar panel snow melting assistance *by T***B on January 29, 2020* I am using the RHS Snow Melting System I purchased from amazon, which is attached to my roof under the lower edge of my solar panels to start the melting of snow anytime the sun is shining and there is an accumulation of snow on the panels, but only for my southern exposure panels, since only they produce much energy during the winter months. I incorporated this snow melting system with my solar panels, since I can’t stand to have a ZERO solar power day, after having payed good money to have the panels produce power.The heater sections through amazon are available in five and ten foot lengths. My southern panel array requires 20 feet of heater in three segments, which uses one kilowatt of power if run for an hour, but is quickly regenerated when the panels are exposed to the sun. This method of heating the solar panels does not void their warranty, since the panels are attached to the roof and do not physically touch the solar panels.The heat from the RHS Snow Melting System rises under the panels and slowly warms them at the bottom, but I only activate the heater when the sun is breaking through the clouds. This heating works in tandem with the sun, which starts the snow melting process at the top of the panels. The heater is run for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on snow thickness and melting progress, which melts the bottom snow accumulation and removes the snow backup resistance from the accumulation above, which allows the snow to completely slide off much sooner than waiting for the sun to get the melt going at the bottom.I live in Utah and before I started using the heater, it took most of the first day of bright sun to remove about 80 percent of the snow, but that pesky bottom snow just usually hangs on until the second day of sun finally melts it off.I haven’t been able to find a countdown timer that will run during the day, since they are generally designed to come on at sundown and run for a specified time for lighting, so what I do is switch the heater on using the Dewenwls ODT12B Outdoor Light Sensor Timer with its remote control, which is from amazon and then set a manual kitchen timer to remind me to look at the panels and turn off the heater as soon as the snow has melted. There is no set time to power up the heater, so programmable timers are not useful, either. If the sun breaks through at 12 noon, that’s when I activate the heater to work along with the sun’s energy.How you design your heater system for power control has to be what will work for you, so take time to consider the options that fit your needs. A WiFi controlled power switch is another option if you want to have control remotely from work or other locations. A camera setup to view the solar panels where the heater is installed would be good to monitor the melting progress to know when to turn off the heater.If your panels are exposed to a lot of wind, it works well to wedge foam rubber strips in just at the top of the heater segments under the panels to encapsulate the rising heat, which increases the effectiveness of the heater and prevents the wind from blowing the heat away. After the snow season is done, the foam should be removed, since the panels require air flow for cooling in hot weather. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective, with some reservation.... *by W***T on March 17, 2024* I have had great results with my 2 valley runs up front! Installed them early & produced as planned. We have 2- 15' pads on 1 circuit this winter starting...Results were great up front, but failed later. We noticed a default in our GFI switch, due to the "overload" , which wasn't expected. We decided it was too much load & am splitting it between 2 circuits now. It may be that if you put a load on even 2 circuits having had a heavy snow load, that the 2 circuit will NOT maintain! We'll see! That's our experiment for today! Really, the specs aren't well defined- which we need! In the end, I'm hopeful that if we must turn on the pads early, before they're overloaded with heavy snow, & expect less for a simple 120V output. let me know what u think?! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/36957956-roof-valley-ice-dam-heater-mat-snow-and-ice-melting](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/36957956-roof-valley-ice-dam-heater-mat-snow-and-ice-melting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
