Customer ServiceAlthough the PV arrays are not physically damaged by the severe. winter conditions, accumulation of snow or ice could lead to decreases in energy output as long as the panels are covered by precipitation. This is because the build-up of snow or ice on the PV. 1994; Ross, 1995; Powers et al., 2010).
Customer ServiceHowever, snow and ice might accumulate and block the airflow through the air gap, preventing the necessary ventilation. While the resulting build-up of hot air will accelerate the melting of snow, it might also be harmful to the panels. Further research is required to get an understanding of this phenomenon, and to determine what risk it poses.
Snow and ice will under various circumstances cause both uniform and partial shading. It is necessary to examine the behaviour and influence of snow and ice on photovoltaic panels, to accurately determine and improve the long-term performance of solar power in snow-prone areas.
Photovoltaic panels enable electricity generation in isolated high-altitude locations, such as mountain cabins, as it is very expensive to extend cables to connect them to the power grid. Thus, the concern of snow-related issues affecting the electricity production of PV systems is not limited to boreal or polar regions.
Obstruction of solar radiation The main influencing factor of snow on PV systems is the blockage of solar radiation on the photovoltaic cells. In order to quantify and assess the importance of this, some understanding of the optical properties of snow is required.
It has been shown that a variety of meteorological phenomena will lead to various types of water and ice deposits on the surface of PV panels in many parts of the world, snow being the most notable among them.
Despite the potential loss of production due to snow, solar panel systems can still generate substantial cost savings. The amount of savings depends on the size of the system, its location, and available sunlight.
