According to our calculations, solar panel output decreases by around 83% in the winter compared to the summer. To give an idea of what that means, a standard 3.5 kilowatt (kW) solar panel system will produce around 362-kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month during the summer. In winter, that drops to 52 kWh.
Solar production is significantly reduced during the winter, by as much as 80% compared to the summer months. This is down to the shorter day length, the increased cloud cover, and the lower angle of the sun. While we may assume that hotter is better when it comes to solar panels, actually the converse is true.
At temperatures below 25C, a solar panel's efficiency increases by up to 0.5% per degree. The decreased sunlight hours during the winter are a major cause of the reduced output during the winter months. This combined with the lower sun angle, reduces the effectiveness of the solar panels during the winter.
To give an idea of what that means, a standard 3.5 kilowatt (kW) solar panel system will produce around 362-kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month during the summer. In winter, that drops to 52 kWh. Do solar panels still work in snowy weather?
One consideration for solar energy systems is the seasonal nature of the availability of light. Changes in the hours of darkness throughout the year and prevailing weather conditions act to limit the light levels in winter compared to summer, at least in locations that are away from the equator.
Some winter days can be bright and sunny, and on these days you can still enjoy a fair amount of solar power, but on a grey and rainy day, with thick clouds, your solar power output will be significantly reduced. Does Reduced Solar Production in Winter Increase Energy Bills?
