That is an impressive photo of snow 'resilience' or would it be tenacity? ;-)

I'm pretty sure the forum would filter the descriptive terms I would use.

OK, and now lets get back to the main question to Midnite staff: Are there (any) plans (left) to launch the snow melt feature before the next winter? When I decided to purchase my Classic 150, snow melt was one of the pros (though not the major one) that I had selecting the Midnite product and it would be nice to have snow melt before another long and icy winter arrives to Latvia...

At the moment, I would say no.  Too many other things are taking priority over snow melt.

Not this year anyway.  Sorry about that. 

If you are going to be at the site, you could use a separate
power supply to melt snow though, which is what I did the first time I tried it.

Do you mean use a DC power supply to "back feed" power to the panels?  Details please.  :)
