Expert Solar Panel Installers in Bedford, NS

SNOW DAY! ❄️ Do solar panels still make power when covered in snow? Nah, not really. Those little electrons rely on direct sunlight to get excited enough to start generating power, so under a blanket of snow they don't have enough juice to get moving. Does that mean you should get on the roof to clear snow off your solar panels? Absolutely not, and here's why: Given the short days and low sun angle of our Winter months, missing a few days here and there due to snow coverage really isn't a big deal. For a typical 10kW system, if you miss a few Winter days of production after a snow event, we might be talking $6-8 worth of lost value. Is that worth risking life and limb on a snow covered roof? The best thing to do is just hang back, relax and let the sun do it's thing. The snow will eventually slide off the solar panels and you'll be back in business! Given our awesome net-metering program in NS, it's all about how much you produce over the full calendar year, not just day to day, or week to week. We take snow coverage into account in our production modelling so you don't need to be concerned about a bit of snow to throw things off course for your annual targets. . . . . #solarpv #renewableenergy #nsforsolar #novascotia...
