My solar panel salesman told me that it didn’t matter if snow got on my roof panels. The sunlight would go right through the snow and still charge my panels all the same.

The solar insolation does transit the snow cover more than one might expect but at my latitude is too weak this time of year to be very useful anyway.

I have more than a dozen panels and take careful measurements. Not only will snow block the sun, but even snow over a portion of the panel will greatly reduce the panel output. Your salesman is clueless.
