Back when solar was much, much more expensive this sort of thing mattered. Now the panels have plunged in price so much, you just deploy more panels (cost of install and other central stuff is the same) and/or accept the longer payback period.
Cold climates do better than one might expect because the colder a solar panel is, the better it works.

The country has massive renewable so by the time solar would generate something, electricity is already super cheap
- nutjob2 7mo agoYou're clearly an outlier, 99% of installs will not have that problem.
- usuryofnicks 7mo agoThe issue persists across the nordic countries, I argue that climate matters a lot to the type of power you're looking to generate.
