Worried about snow covering your solar panels? Discover why winter weather isn't the enemy you think it is! Learn the surprising science behind cold-weather solar efficiency, natural snow shedding, and the albedo effect that actually boosts panel performance in snowy conditions.

Key Winter Solar Topics:

• Cold temperatures increase panel efficiency (vs. heat-reduced summer output)
• How panels naturally shed snow using gravity, tilt angles & residual heat
• The albedo effect - snow reflects 90% of sunlight back to panels
• Free panel cleaning as snow melts and removes dirt buildup
• Modern micro-inverters prevent "Christmas light effect" shutdowns
• Safety warning: Never manually remove snow from panels

Learn why New York, Massachusetts, and even Antarctica successfully use solar despite heavy snowfall. We break down snow load durability testing, when to monitor system output, and why battery backup makes winter solar even more powerful during grid outages.
