Snow
One of the questions that we’ve had about solar panels was: “What happens when it snows?”
We learned the answer yesterday. We got 15 inches of snow between 10am Saturday and 10am Sunday. The inverters produced nothing on Saturday (not a surprise – the sun was hard to see). On Sunday, the panels were 90% covered with an inch to 4 inches of snow (guestimated from the ground). We got nothing.
Today, the skies are brighter but it’s STILL cold (it was 5 degrees F at 7am this morning), so I don’t expect the panels to be uncovered today. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and above freezing.
