Apologies - I didn't mean it like that. Obviously dark nights, cloud cover and snow impact generation capacity. I'm thinking structurally, though. Unlike rain or cloud, snow will add a heap of weight to panels. I'm wondering how that impacts their lifespan.
- pjc50 4y agoObviously you design them for expected snow and wind loads, but they're also angled and since they're black as soon as sun gets through to them it'll start melting off.
