Most solar systems installed today are what is called 'grid-tied' and don't use batteries. The solar panels on your roof convert the sun into electricity which is either used immediately in your house by lights, appliances, etc. or spins your meter backwards and is 'sold' back to the utility. This extra power is most likely used by your neighbors so they can thank you for installing a solar system!
The solar panels are made with glass which is very slippery. The solar panels shed snow better than a metal roof such as Pro Panel. Also they are a dark color and will warm up quickly in the sun. There is no need to remove the snow from them, but if you feel the need, use a bamboo grass rake or a plastic rake; not metal. You don't want to scratch the glass on the front of the panel.
