Do solar generators work in winter?

Solar panels work in the winter. And it's true that because of shorter days and snow cover, a solar system's output can be lower than on a long summer day.

Solar panels work in the winter.

One of the most frequent question we get about solar is "does solar work in the winter?" The answer is yes, even in blustery New England. Many people are shocked to hear that solar panels work in winter weather, especially with the Northeast’s frequent snowstorms. And it’s true that because of shorter days and snow cover, a solar system’s output can be lower than on a long summer day. However, thanks to solar panels’ increased efficiency in colder months and the surplus of energy produced in the summer, your solar system will generate power and achieve its estimated output as it continues to work during the winter. Solar panels are a resilient and reliable source of energy all year long, and are actually more efficient in colder temperatures. We at ReVision Energy have been installing solar arrays in New England for 20 years and we know how winter and solar interact. During our free site evaluation, we use sophisticated solar path modeling equipment to estimate how much solar energy your roof or yard receives. Depending on your exact location, we ‘de-rate’ the predicted annual output based on the average amount of snow your region receives. While there will always be seasonal variations, over the course of your 40+ year solar investment, your system should produce very close to our estimate. Technical excellence is a key value at our company. Though some solar installers are tempted to be a bit...optimistic...with their production numbers, we prefer to give more conservative figures when we calculate your potential system and savings. (You can do this too with our Solar Calculator!) We would rather have your solar array outperform our estimates rather than underperform. It's important to note that because solar energy output is tracked on an annual basis (thanks to net metering), you stand to benefit from the higher overall summer output vs. winter. Since you always have the grid for a back-up, real-time 100% solar power to your home from your panels in winter is not critical. Even in the nastiest of winters, solar is a solid investment with numerous benefits for you and your community. Additionally, if you pair solar with a battery backup, your home can thrive in the winter, even during a famous New England winter power outage.
