Solar panel struggles in the winter
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The recent extreme cold temperatures and snow have left some residents asking questions about their solar panels.
Owner of Terralta, Marcus Campbell, says snow and ice certainly reduces their energy production.
In the grand-scheme of things though, Campbell believes dealing with less output during four-months out of the year isn’t all that bad.
“When we look at your annual harvest, eight-per cent of that actually takes place in the winter months,” explained Campbell. “The other ninety-two per cent of your harvest is going to take place in spring, summer and fall.”
