Abstract
Apparatus and systems are described herein for heating a satellite antenna reflector to remove snow and ice from the reflector surface. A satellite heating system includes a heating element attached to the satellite antenna reflector and a battery associated with the heating element. A satellite receiver provides a satellite antenna with a supply voltage over cabling communicatively coupling the satellite receiver and the satellite antenna. The supply voltage is further utilized to charge the battery. The heating element may then utilize the power supplied by the battery to heat the surface of the reflector, removing ice and snow from the reflector surface.
