Abstract
A snow-inhibiting device for inhibiting the movement of snow and ice on a solar-paneled roof. The device includes a base adapted for attachment to the surface of a roof. A planar guard member is securely attached to the surface of the base. The planar guard member has a proximal and distal end, where the proximal end is adjacent to the base, and the distal end projects away from the base. The distal end projects to a height greater than the height of the surface of a solar panel on the roof.
