OK. So the solar panels are covered with snow because they’ve got the flat side up.
What if they just turned the solar panels 90 degrees and had the skinny part of the panel facing up?
Where’s my Nobel Prize?

There should be a rule that when windmills stop turning, the greenies have goout and turn the blades by hand.

How about 40-45 degrees? That’s about where they are now at a northerly latitude.

See, the snow would just drop by.
It wouldn’t land on the solar panel.
Well, a little bit would land but not enough to cause a problem or anything.

Well, duh...heating elements would keep the solar cells snow-free. German engineering ain’t so smart, is it?

‘’For many years, Germany has been held up as the world’s wind and solar capital.’’
But at what cost ... as the article says it is high ... so high that as many as 1.5 million households can not afford electricity and go without. They shut down their nuke plants when Japan had their huge accident and the cost shot up. This because of so few coal plants operable.

This is a brilliant, powerful, highly educated,sophisticated, cultured country of the highest order. Unfortunately they have a self-destructive streak...invasion of the Soviet Union, declaring war on the US, electing Merkel, open borders, closing all nuclear power etc. These are not small matters on the grand scale of things.

The price of electricity also drives up costs of nearly everything. Water, a high percentage of your water Bill is the cost of pumping.
