Maybe that is what you want, once they are clear of snow they stand a
chance of picking up some solar heat. And presumably you don't want
them freezing. I wonder if a smart heat pump system would manage this
automatically?

Doesn't need to.
My solar hot water never get lying snow on them and they are installed
correctly.
The glycol stops them freezing.

So the angle and surface finish stops snow settling? Always? Do you
perhaps have a "cotswold" slope?

about 30 degrees
