Do Solar Panels Work When Covered In Ice?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells absorb sunlight, creating an electric current that powers homes and businesses. The amount of energy they generate depends primarily on the sun’s intensity, not temperature.

Cold weather often improves your solar panel efficiency. The lower temperatures reduce electrical resistance, allowing the panels to operate more efficiently than in extreme heat. Basically, solar panels perform better on a bright, cold winter day than on a scorching summer afternoon.

Temperature plays a secondary role in energy production. Even in freezing conditions, if your panels receive adequate sunlight, they will continue generating electricity effectively. However, things become more complicated when the panels are covered in ice. Understanding how ice buildup affects performance—and how to maintain efficiency during winter—ensures consistent energy production.

The Impact of Snow and Ice on Solar Panels

Snow and Ice: The Barriers to Solar Energy

Your solar panels need direct sunlight to generate electricity efficiently. When snow or ice covers the surface, it blocks the light and lowers energy production. Unlike dirt or dust, snow can create a uniform layer that entirely blocks sunlight, halting power generation temporarily. On the other hand, ice may form a translucent layer that allows some light through, but scattering and refraction can reduce efficiency.

Understanding the Physical Impact on Panels

The weight of accumulated snow presents another challenge. Most residential and commercial solar panels are designed to withstand significant loads, often rated for at least 2400 Pascals (Pa), which approximates 50 pounds per square foot. However, excessive snowfall can push these limits, particularly on structures with inadequate support. Structural stress or deformation may occur on your solar panels if the weight surpasses design specifications.

In extreme cases, rapid freeze-thaw cycles can create expansion and contraction stresses. When snow melts and then refreezes, water can infiltrate small gaps or material imperfections, expand upon freezing, and exert force on the panel’s surface and mounting components. Over time, this can accelerate wear, leading to potential cracks or compromising your solar panels’ integrity.

Why Over $40 Million in Success Is Just the Start

This team from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) participated in Cohort 4 as team HALO to use Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) to fabricate high performance solar cells at a lower cost.

Solar Blogs

Freedom Solar describes itself as a team of “solar revolutionaries.” And if you look at the facts on the ground, the revolution’s going well!

Solar panel prices keep coming down, and solar panels keep getting better. More and more people see the value of pairing their panels with batteries that keep families free and safe from blackouts and high bills. And as I’ve written before, tens of millions of roofs in this country still lend themselves to solar — and they still don’t have panels yet.

So we don’t have a problem with what’s actually happening, but we might have a problem with what people think is happening. Politics are playing too big a role in solar’s growth, and some consumers understandably worry that they’ll be collateral damage.
