Modular heated surface system and method of installation

A modular surface heating system comprising:

• a plurality of modular heating panels, each comprising a top face, a bottom face, an upper edge, a lower edge, a right-side edge, and a left side edge;
• said plurality of modular heating panels configured to be combined to form a rectangular surface placed atop an exterior paved surface;
• each of said plurality of modular heating panels including internal heat coils configured to heat
• each respective modular heating panel such that snow and ice located on each respective top face is melted into water;
• each of said plurality of modular heating panels further including channels for receiving said water;
• each of said plurality of modular heating panels including a respective internal drain line within each of said plurality of modular heating panels, said respective internal drain line connected to said respective channels of each of said plurality of modular heating panels, and wherein said respective internal drain line of each of said plurality of modular heating panels is configured to connect to an adjacent internal drain line of an adjacent one of said plurality of modular heating panels;
• one of said plurality of modular heating panels having a spout for connecting an external drainage hose
• for draining said water from said respective internal drain line of each of said plurality of modular heating panels, said external drainage hose being selectively removable;
• each of said plurality of modular heating panels including interlocking teeth and connection receivers for connecting to an adjacent one of said plurality of modular heating panels for draining said water away from each respective modular heating panel to said spout;
• said interlocking teeth and connection receivers comprise a plurality of tabs located on respective bottom faces of said interlocking teeth, each of said plurality of tabs configured to be received by a respective connection receiver;
• an outlet port for receiving heat power from an external source connected to one of said plurality of modular heating panels;
• each of said plurality of modular heating panels including connections to connect an adjacent one of said plurality of modular heating panels to for receiving said heat power;
• said heat power configured to heat said heating coils;
• at least one of said plurality of modular heating panels including a sensor configured for detecting a presence of a vehicle located on top of said at least one of said plurality of modular heating panels;
• and
• said sensor connected to an indicator configured to indicate said presence of said vehicle located on top of said at least one of said plurality of modular heating panels.
