Umm .. so what are you going to do in the very overcast UK winter months

Obviously output is much reduced. I think snow will slide off the
panels very easily especially as air can circulate beneath them.

More Harry the low amount of available sunlight because of a lower
incidence of the light landing on your panels in the winter months, so
we'll still need the backup generation to supply you with *will we
not?..


We will. But it's about saving fuel, not the capital expense of the
fossil fuel burners. And in a few years there will be no alternative.

and oil pollution.)
