Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output

Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves
Goldilocks was evidently the brains behind the ‘engineering’ of wind and solar power, which only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any more resilient. A … Continue reading Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves
