Identifying snow in photovoltaic monitoring data for improved snow loss modeling and snow detection
...Snow coverage on the PV modules will lead to significant power losses, which must be estimated and accounted for in order to achieve accurate energy yield assessment and production forecasts. Additionally, detection and separation of snow loss from other system losses is necessary to establish robust operation and maintenance (O&M) routines and performance evaluations...
Well, it would if this was really about saving the planet and/or getting the best bang for the taxpayer's buck.
But it's not and never has been.
