Do Solar Panels Still Function in the Winter?
Fri, Jan 7, 2022
During the summertime, solar can power your entire facility. But what will happen when the days get shorter and temperatures drop? Do solar panels still function in the winter?
The answer is yes, solar panels function during the winter. Converting sunlight to electricity actually works better in colder temperatures, meaning solar panels often improve in efficiency during the winter months. Most residential homes will see some reduction in total power generation due to fewer daylight hours or excess cloud cover, but increased efficiency helps minimize this.
