I just read a blog on some other site commenting about the Presidents program to repower America saying that he lives in MI and his roof has been covered in snow for months so how could his roof be generating any solar power.

First, MI and WI, where I grew up, are abour 45 degrees north.  for optimial wintertime solar collection a pannel should be tilted about 15 degrees more than the lattitude.  so way up north where they have snow for long periods  their house should be an A-frame orented east-west and the roof sloped at 60 degrees!  I doubt any snow would accumulate on a glass covered pannel at that angle!
