Solar panels LOVE the cold. They work better
Why ? It’s like superconductors
The lattice vibrates less at lower temperatures in the electrons can pass through more easily with less resistance
Wind is the purview of giant utilities ; the generators are 400 feet tall and about 2 MW
Any homeowner , any business can use about 25% of one of their roofs and put enough solar panels on to generate all of their electricity on an annual basis and have no electric bill
If the utility doesn’t want to play ball and won’t net meter- you can always get batteries and tell them to take their wires and go home
What workarounds are there for solar cells for snow/ice/overcast situations; backup storage ?
