Researchers identify strange weather phenomenon that could help generate power: 'It indeed has energy potential'

It should come as no surprise that weather conditions in northern climates can greatly impact the effectiveness of solar panels. Factors such as heavy snow, ice accumulation, and strong winds can limit power production.  However, a team of scientists may have discovered the impact that geographical location and the orientation of solar panels have on solar power efficiency.   According to a report published in the journal Mendeley Data, research…
