IntroductionModeling Snow Losses with SolarAnywhereUsing Time-Series Weather Data to Make Snow-Loss Estimates More Site SpecificReferencesAccumulated snow can reduce the energy output of a solar PV system by obstructing the sunlight available for energy conversion. PV energy losses due to snow—commonly referred to as “snow losses”—can vary widely between locations and time periods. Estimating snow losses accurately can help PV system owners and financiers reduce financial and operati...See more on solaranywhere Sandia National Laboratories[PDF]
