We had Leaf Filter gutter guards for 15 yrs and the were great.boy I would love to do something like that, but my rear is about 45 feet maybe more.. I also have a ranch, and my trees overhang the house, so even with guards, I am up on the roof many times a year. I had the type that flow over, but over time they stop working and in a heavy rain they do not work, most of the rain just flows over instead of following the curve. I have basic guards right now, and they are full of my pin oak's pollen strings. I've been up there twice, and need to do it again, and probably remove many covers and clean out underneath.
We have heavy leaf canopy and neither the oak worms (IYKYK) nor the poplar spinners affected them.
OP, cantilever your design and they will automatically dump when the weight gets above a certain point.
Motors will just be a hassle long term.
