Do solar modules supplier solar panels work in the snow?

Winter is not only accompanied by cold, but also by snow. As a consumer switching to solar, you've probably asked a few questions. For example, what happens to solar panels when it snows? Will power generation be affected? It's normal to be concerned about the effects of snow on solar panels.

When it snows, your solar panels can still produce energy. Despite being covered in snow, the panels still have access to sunlight. Light makes solar modules generate electricity.

Also, you can remove snow from the solar panels. If your solar system is easily accessible, this can be a DIY exercise. You can use a roof rake to clear the area under the panels to make room for snow to slide off the solar panels. Doing this will help speed up the thawing process.

You can also wipe the dust off the snow. You should be careful to avoid damaging the solar panel. Snow reduces the ability of sunlight to penetrate the panels. Professional installers can help install PV modules at a higher angle and let the snow slide.

On a cold sunny day, the extra blanket of snow on the panel acts like a mirror. It reflects sunlight onto photovoltaics, thereby increasing yield.
