\r\nYou might think these solar panels covered with snow weren’t generating anything:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"Solar<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nBut they are.\r\nNot much, true, but they are generating:\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\"Lower<\/a>\r\n
Lower bank 128W, Inverters \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\"Upper<\/a>\r\n
Upper bank 211W, Inverters \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\"Old<\/a>\r\n
Old panels 61W, Inverters \r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\nThere are 20 old panels on the other side of the roof, not visible in the first picture.\r\nPlus the 60 newer panels, they were generating 400 Watts, 0.4 kiloWatts (KW).\r\nThat’s a far cry from their maximum capacity of 15 kW, but it’s more than\r\nall the lights in use in the buildings, plus probably at least one refrigerator,\r\nhere at\r\nOkra Paradise Farms.\r\n

\r\nSo if they generate covered in snow under a cloudy sky,\r\njust under a cloudy sky you can imagine they generate a lot more,\r\nand still more when it’s sunny.\r\n
