Installing solar panels is a good way to save energy and protect the environment. However, for people who live in cold areas, snow can cause big problems. Can solar panels still generate electricity on snowy days? Joshua Pierce, an associate professor at Michigan Technological University, said: "If the snow completely covers the panels, and only a small portion of the sunlight through the snow hits the solar panels, then the energy generated is obviously less." "Even a small amount of snow cover on the panels can greatly reduce the power generation of the entire system," he added. Regarding these issues, research is currently underway on whether solar panels can continue to generate electricity in cold climates. The loss is expected to affect solar users' spending on energy, but it will only have a serious impact on those users who rely entirely on solar photovoltaic power generation and do not achieve traditional grid-connected generation. For the majority of homes and businesses still connected to the grid, the economic impact will be limited. But when it comes to improving the optimal use of solar energy, energy loss remains a problem. The study also included the positive impact of snowy weather on solar panel formation. "When the snow falls on the ground and the panels are not covered with anything, the snow on the ground acts as a mirror to reflect sunlight back to the panels, which increases the amount of electricity produced by the panels," Pearce said. "In many cases, the reflection of the snow will give a small boost to photovoltaic power generation." Pearce described several ways they have increased the amount of energy their solar panels produce in the presence of snow. Tips for generating power on Snow days: 1. Clear snow When it's time You may need a tennis ball. Using a tennis ball to bounce and vibrate the snow off an inclined panel would be a good way to slide it down. Of course, other tools can be borrowed. In this way you will find that the effect of your power generation system is multiplied; 2. The installation of solar panels at a large Angle can reduce the accumulation speed of snow and avoid the trouble of cleaning snow from time to time. "Before you decide whether to choose 30 degrees or 40 degrees, obviously 40 is a better plan." Mr Pearce said. 3. Keep a little distance from the place when installing so that snow will not accumulate at the bottom when it falls, so that it will slowly accumulate to cover the entire battery component. Solar energy is a low-cost and efficient alternative energy source. As an alternative to traditional electricity, new photovoltaic power generation systems are being installed in large numbers in homes. And once the grid is connected, even if the snow slightly obstructs solar power generation, the overall power supply is still normal.
