A great deal of activity in this sector that it's expected to reach 1GW in the usa by the end of the year.

On frosty days, my solar system starts clearing itself using the heat generated in the wires of the cells when it starts generating electricity. On snowy days, if you ran some electricity through the cells, the heat would generate water at the cell/snow interface. I'll bet the snow would slide off very quickly. I've seen it happen on my system. For a grid tied system there is utility power at the inverter. Some switches to isolate the inverter, rectify the current and put the correct amps into the solar cells should do the job. Obviously, you need to pick the amount of power used very carefully. And you need to check with the solar panel manufacturers to see what current is allowable. Should be easy.
