Solar Performance in the Midwest

There is a common misconception that solar energy only works in states like Arizona and California.  Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, hundreds of thousands of solar electric and thermal systems are installed in the Northern US – even in Canada. 

Contrary to popular belief, solar panels do not need heat or bright sunlight to operate – a cold, overcast day can still produce power through a Photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal array.  Many companies make panels specifically for these conditions.  See how the Midwest compares to warmer U.S. climates for solar energy.
