Thanks!

If the snow is turning to ice, then you have heat. *Therefore, the
solution is to better ventilate your room and keep the snow as snow.

And insulate the sun?

The roof brackets another poster mentioned are called snowbirds or
snow guards. Here's one manufacturer's web site that has a nifty
little installation video. I've never used adhesive for attaching
them to a metal roof, but they have some pretty amazing adhesives out
there so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
