Technical FAQs 4

Do PV modules produce more energy when snow shedding?

Preliminary results from image analysis of one snow shedding event indicate that PV modules installed in portrait orientation yield up to 24 % more energy yield compared to those in landscape orientation due to faster snow shedding . 4.1.5. PV technology

Does snow affect solar PV performance?

Analysis and classification of factors influencing snow losses. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has a great potential for renewable energy generation. However, in cold climates with heavy snowfall, PV systems performance might be significantly reduced. This review investigates the impact of snow on solar PV in regions with harsh winters.

Should PV systems be designed for snowy conditions?

One key recommendation is to improve PV system design to better accommodate snowy conditions, rather than relying on configurations optimized for milder conditions. The review also identifies a gap in the literature regarding the implementation of safety devices such as snow guards in the context of PV systems.

Should solar energy performance models include snow?

Snow coverage loss factors are empirically derived to enhance model performance. An artificial neural network model is then implemented, considering snowfall data and snow coverage loss factors. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the need to modify the current solar energy performance models to include snow.
