The energy it takes to do that is significant.
Often exceeding the energy gained in the winter.

It does. Even at 0F, you'll see snow melting on the roofs in winter.
I'm thinking if the sun can warm the panels enough for a thin layer of ice to slide off, then it can't take that much more energy to make a thick layer slide off.
