Long‐Term Photovoltaic System Performance in Cold, Snowy Climates

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1180-1197, November 2025.
We review degradation rates of photovoltaic systems located in cold humid continental, subarctic, and tundra climates and analyze three new photovoltaic systems > 60° N in Alaska and Canada with each with between 5 and 16 years of data. Overall, PV systems located in cold climates have a median degradation rate of −0.33%/year.
