What happens to Solar Panels when it snows?
Since Photovoltaic panels need sunshine to generate power, any covering will reduce the ability of the panels. In more extreme conditions, light can become obstructed by a buildup of snow or ice on the panel. This rarely causes a long-term problem because of the incline of most pitched roofs. For flat roofs the angel the panels themselves are mounted at plus the panels often give off enough heat to thaw most accumulations of snow and ice quickly and without additional maintenance. Our energy production estimates take average snow fall into account when determining size of system required as well as when estimating the return on your investment.
