Do solar panels work in winter?
The answer is yes.
Solar panels do work in winter. Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity, and are not based on converting heat. Although there are fewer available sunlight hours in the winter months, a solar panel system can still produce electricity, albeit solar panel output will be lower than in the summer months. Snow can block the sun from reaching the solar cells which can be a problem, but it can also reflect more light onto the solar panels. Solar panels can still generate enough renewable power to run a home in winter in the UK, especially if you have solar batteries to store the solar energy produced by the solar panels.

Matt Alexander’s Solar Energy Success Story
A 5-Star Review of NXTGEN Energy’s Products & Services
The work’s been done to an incredibly high standard. The cabling is really neat, the system is performing fantastically well, and we can’t believe how much money we’ve saved already. So, generally a big thank you to Stuart, Kelly and everyone at the NXTGEN team, who have done a really, really good job from start to finish.
We really couldn’t be more pleased.
