I left MN 25 years ago because your average Minnesotan had no concept of technology.
Suggesting that Minnesotan’s put fragile solar panels on their roof to be buried under a foot of snow is proof.
Ice dams will rip them apart.
Here in the midwest, if you’re going to go green, hydro is the only thing that makes any kind of sense. Its also the reason the greenies are desperate to tear out as many dams as they can.
Hey dere! Yous just cover dem solar thingies up with one a dem plastic tarps from the Fleet Farm, not? Keep alla snow an ice offa dem, jest like it keeps it offa the ole Scout.
Big gov solar panels work fine under a foot of snow. It just requires buying the power at 10 cents retail, running it through the solar panels, then selling it back for 27 cents.
