cyclotic: How well do they work in the snow?

I read the new panels have those defroster strips such as in the back window of your car and take minimal energy to keep snow from building up..
Don’t know about the rest. I have been seeing lot more solar panels on corporate buildings and property on my travels about. I can’t imagine private industry is doing it if they were losing money. There must be a benefit to it.

Typically the cost reaches equilibrium about the same time the panels reach their lifespan, so besides the corporate virtue signaling, it’s a wash.

A few years ago at a former employer, I worked closely with a customer that produced solar panels. When I realized that they didn’t even have solar n their own roof, even at the plant in Mexico, I learned what a scam it was.
