AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing mechanical snow removal systems with screw conveyors on roofs are limited to transporting snow in one direction, require guide rails, and are inefficient for large roof surfaces, necessitating temporary storage solutions.
Method used
A stationary snow removal system using modularly arranged screw conveyors and ejector elements on rotatable shafts, allowing controlled, quantifiable snow transport and discharge, eliminating the need for guide rails and enabling flexible installation on inclined surfaces.
Benefits of technology
The system efficiently removes snow from large roof surfaces by transporting it in a controllable manner, reducing the need for guide rails and temporary storage, and can be adapted to specific snowfall and roof conditions.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a stationary device for removing snow from sloped surfaces, preferably smooth surfaces, particularly sloped roofs and solar panel surfaces, comprising at least one rotatably mounted shaft on which conveying elements and / or ejector elements (1, 2, 3, 9) are arranged, and at least one drive system mechanically and operationally connected to at least one or each rotatably mounted shaft, and driving at least one or each shaft in any rotational direction. The device is preferably connected to means for detecting snow depth and can be operated manually, automatically, and / or by sensor control via a control unit. The present invention also relates to the use of a device for safely removing snow from sloped surfaces such as sloped roofs, solar roofs, or solar panels.
