A Premium, Non-Intrusive Solution

Snow guards are designed to prevent heavy snow and ice from sliding off your roof or solar panels, protecting your home, family, and property. We use specialized aluminum rails bolted directly to solar panel frames, providing maximum security without compromising your roof or panel warranties.

No Roof Drilling

Our system mounts securely to the solar panel frame using purpose-built brackets, meaning we never drill into your roof.

Built for Alberta

The aluminum barriers are securely bolted to withstand the heavy snow loads and extreme cold common across Calgary and Edmonton.

Protects Your Warranty

Installed by certified professionals, our snow guards are designed to protect, not void, your existing solar panel warranty.

Clarity Every Step of the Way

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can snow guards be installed on existing solar panels?

    Yes. Snow guards can be added to your existing solar panels without removing them from the roof, making it a quick and non-intrusive way to protect your home and panels.

  • How much does it cost to install snow guards?

    Installation costs typically range from $500 to $1,800, depending on the number of panels needing protection and your roof layout.

  • Will snow guards damage my roof?

    No. Our snow guards are mounted directly onto the solar panel frames using purpose-built brackets. No roof penetrations are needed, so your roof remains safe and intact.

  • Do snow guards affect solar panel performance?

    Snow guards may slightly reduce energy production at very low sun angles, but this minimal impact is outweighed by the protection they provide against snow slides and potential property damage.

  • Do all solar panels need snow guards?

    Not necessarily. Snow guards are usually installed on the lowest row of panels or in high-risk areas, like above walkways or near roof edges. Often, less than half the panels require protection.

  • How are snow guards installed?

    Snow retention barriers are securely bolted to the edges of solar panels. Clamps are placed between each module, and the barrier is affixed to these clamps, ensuring a strong, durable, and warranty-safe installation.
