I didn't consider repairing it, since I've got spares. And, the spares are cheap enough to have a few hanging around..
This is actually the 1st one of these little PSUs to fail..


It should keep the snow off, but when those big chunks of hard snow come down, that tin is going to look just awful..

However, my plan is to stay ahead of the snow storms this winter.
The minute we get 8" of snow around the mini-splits, I'm going to be cleaning up around them..
And if we get a foot on the roof, with more in the forecast, I not going to wait. I'm going to dig a trench around the house and garage, so I can use a snow rake to clean off the roofs.. I hate trying to pull down 2 or 3 feet deep snow.. And, it's dangerous..

I'm thinking of investing in something lighter this year.. Avalanche Roof Rake Snow Removal Systems - ManufacturerAvalanche Snow Removal
This thing looks too good to be true..
