Founded in 1974, Cheshire Academy, a private school in Cheshire, CT, is closing in on its first successful year of using solar-powered panels to help reduce energy costs. Four campus buildings boast the productive solar panels. To slow down the release of melting snows and ice from those panels, Drift Solar Snow Fences were added to help keep the students and faculty safe on the historic 104-acre campus.

There's a good reason Michael Stowe added solar panels to the top of his home. Between mid-March and late-September, his home in British Columbia, Canada receives more than 12 hours of sunlight a day. However, that situation changes in late autumn.

The 15 luxurious Royal Elk Villas, built in 2012, faced the challenge of replacing cracked concrete tile roofs. The area averages about 20 feet of snow each season. Every spring broken tiles would need to be replaced. Heavy snow loads, ice dams, shifting snow, ice pack and rooftop traffic all contributed to the breaking tiles.

Desmond Tse has 20 years experience as a self-taught solo siding contractor.

This summer he became a self-taught roofer.

Tse used ST9 snow guards on his first roofing project.

The church has 740 families, so protecting them was the highest priority for the Weather-Tite Exteriors crew that relies on Rocky Mountain Snow Guards for snow retention solutions.

"Experience and expertise keep us coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards," says Josh Yandle, owner/operator of Umbrella Roofing company based in Eagle, Colorado.

The iconic old main structure at Utah State built in 1889 now features a beautiful new DaVinci roof and Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.

Snow Guards installed on a recently finished project in the Lake Tahoe area at the Fleur Du Lac Estates.

This project showcases our ability here at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to design systems based not only on the need of an effective snow retention solution, but also to add to the overall beauty of the project.
