A lot of individuals looking for residential solar in New York ask us this question. A common misconception is that solar panels are effective only during summer.

As these panels powered by light, instead of heat, the change of season doesn’t have any major effect.  The panels absorb the sun’s light energy and convert it into electrical energy.

The efficiency of the solar system, in fact, increases during winter. The white snow often reflects light, thereby increasing PV performance. The only issue you might face is when the panels get covered with snow. Make sure you have the right equipment to remove the snow from the panels easily.

If you still have doubt, we must tell you that Germany, with sunshine levels equivalent to that of Alaska, leads the world by solar panel installations.

The solar panels become more useful during winter time, as they minimize/eliminate the cost of heating the home. When it’s time for holiday decorations, the solar energy saves you from the enormous energy bill associated with lights and other stuff.
