I built the 12 pitch roof to get the most roof space I could reasonably get. It happens to be ideal for winter production, and yes snow shedding off is also important for winter production. My brother's system is on a 5 pitch, and that works better in the summer, but he has to clear snow with a long handled snow rake. Which is non-trivial work.
