Solar Power Surprises: Why Panels Work Even in Snowy Climates
A recent video by Brighteyesolar, a Pennsylvania-based solar installation company, addresses common misconceptions about solar panel efficiency. The video challenges the belief that solar panels are only effective in warm, sunny climates. According to the speaker, regions like the Mid-Atlantic average 3.5 peak sun hours daily, while Florida sees approximately 4.5 hours. However, the video emphasizes that a properly oriented and unobstructed solar panel system in a less sunny region can potentially generate more energy than a system in a traditionally sunnier state like Florida. This highlights the critical role of installation quality and roof orientation in maximizing solar energy production, encouraging a broader understanding of solar power's viability across diverse geographical areas.
