How does snow affect solar panels

❄️ Snow on Solar Panels? Chill Out — We’ve Got You Covered! ❄️

by Infinity Solar USA

When winter rolls in and your roof looks more like a ski slope than a power plant, you might wonder: “Is my solar system taking a snow day?”

Short answer? Not really. Long answer? Let’s break the ice.

☃️ Snow vs. Solar: Who Wins?

Yes, snow can temporarily cover your panels and reduce energy production. But unlike your cousin Dave who disappears at the first sign of a snowflake, your solar panels are actually working behind the scenes. Thanks to their slick, angled design (and the magic of physics), snow usually slides right off — often faster than it melts on your car windshield.

⚡ The Bright Side (Literally)

A snowy day doesn’t mean zero energy. Cold temps actually improve panel efficiency, and when the sun peeks out, snow can reflect sunlight onto your panels — giving you a little extra boost. Think of it as nature’s energy rebate.

🧼 Should You Shovel Them?

Only if you really miss climbing ladders in freezing temperatures. Otherwise, leave it to gravity and sunlight. Most snow clears itself in a day or two. If you’re in a heavy snow zone, ask us about panel placement and tilt angles to speed things along.

🌞 Spring Will Thank You

Rest easy knowing that your panels are low-maintenance and winter-ready. Once the snow melts, they’ll be right back to soaking up the sun — no reboot required.
