"It's Really Unprecedented": Solar Power Generation Cut In Half Due To Canada Smoke​

Yeah but once all the power plants are green energy there won't be any more forest fires. The forest only burns because of "climate change".

Lies!! I've been told by someone here that several inches of snow covering solar panels barely changes solar output, so smoke won't change a thing

It’s not just the smoke in the air. They will be on the roof everyday cleaning those panels from ash.

I think this 8s how the Matrix started...we blacked out the skies to kill the AI's electrical supply...
And then the robots learned how to use humans as batteries

Here high production with cool weather.

That is good news because all of the smoke blocking the sun might trigger a summer snowstorm.

No they won’t. Few home owners ever step foot on their roof. So the effiency will be down until they get a good rain.

… periodically would have to hose mine down…even in good weather…

Roof decks and solar panels were nasty and soot covered around the harbor, and along the major freeways. It always made me wonder about driving with the windows down

sadly most people do not and dust isn't something light passes through...drops efficiency even in normal circumstances. I always told people at minimum buy the on the end of the hose windex house wash and hit them once a year...but most just depend on the rain.

I was almost ready to wash my 1 year old panels,
then I remembered monsoon season is right around the corner.
