Solar and the snow

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in the United States are working to quantify the effects of abundant snowfall on a PV system and identify cost effective strategies to mitigate energy losses and reliability issues caused by the presence of snow and ice.Solar is slowly but surely making its way further from the equator and into regions that might not be thought to offer significant solar irradiation. While both technological improvements and increased acceptance have driven solar's push into colder climes, plenty of challenges remain to operating a PV system in these environments. Not ...
