Just brought some solar panels and inverter to power the house and some solar lights to shine on the panels at night to get power 24/7 used some of the money we would have had to pay the government as tax to get it of our taxes just wondering how they work if it snows were you are we don't get snow here but if you run heater wires in the panels they would melt the snow and you might be able to use them don't know if they all ready do that
