Actually the sun works with snow on the ground. The refection from the snow actually intensifies the brightness. That’s why people wear sun glasses when it’s snows

Interesting thought.

Wouldn’t the same snow be also on the solar panels?

LOL. You forgot the /sarc tag.

Solar arrays look up. You wear sunglasses when it snows because the sun reflects up off the snow. The reflected sunlight is hitting the bottom of the solar panel. Also, it is true that the sun works when there is snow on the ground, solar panels don’t work so well when the snow is lying on them.

Tell me how that works when the solar panels are *covered* in several feet of snow and no light is getting to the panels.
