Original Note:
Solar panels covered in snow still produce energy as light can pass through the snow. Light snow, as shown in the quote tweeted video, only reduces the energy production by roughly 5% compared to clear solar panels. https://solaralberta.ca/members/installation-resources/alberta-solar-performance-data/ https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/let-it-snow-how-solar-panels-can-thrive-winter-weather https://www.solarcor.ca/how-does-snow-affect-solar-panels-canada/
