4 things to consider before installing solar in a place that gets snow. If you live in a climate that gets snow, you are probably wondering if it makes sense to install a solar panel system for your home. I have been through two winters with my DIY ground based 9kW home solar panel system, and it can produce solar power in snow. I'll show you what happens when it snows and what to look out for.
