Can you let a solar panel freeze?

[putting4par]

Solar panels actually perform much better in cold weather. The colder the better. High temperatures really hurt performance. Solar panels are driven by sunlight, not heat. Of course the days are shorter in the winter months, but the panels actually perform better. A side benefit is that sunlight reflected off of snow can dramatically increase production. In fact, there have been instances where reflected sunlight caused production to increase so much it exceeded the capacity of the inverter.

Get an array of mirrors focused on your solar panel...

Or Fresnel lenses...

Wow! Heat Seeking Missiles?????? Who'd a thunk that! and nobody even questioned it.
What a lot of tekky yakky. A simple Yes or No never seems to be the correct answer anymore. I've left mine in the boler for 3 Canadian winters with no problem, but to each his/her own.
