Do Solar Panels Work During the Winter?
Now here is a myth probably most of you have been wondering about. Is it true that solar panels only work properly during the summer while it’s bright and hot? Do cold weather, wind or snow affect the performance of your solar panels? Is there any way you can configure them to have increased exposure to the sun? Let’s try and find out if these questions can be answered! Solar panels do not require heat or a clear sky to produce energy. Sunlight is the only necessary resource, and it’s available to us 365 days of the year, so the answer is yes. Solar panels can and will produce energy for your home during the winter because sunlight is the only requirement for them to work. Weather do not affect them too much; wind, rain or snow have no significant effect on the amount of sunlight that can reach the panels, although clouds can be somewhat of a hindrance because…

Moving Is STRESSFUL!!!
Moving is stressful, moving on short notice is the worst. When The Husband and I were first married it seemed we were always moving. It was always “be out in a week”. Still gives me all over body shudders. THEN we bought our first home. Settled in for a nice long 35 years. Now Sunny California that I love and adore has gotten so expensive that we can’t afford to live here any longer. Retirement is AWESOME. Fixed income? Yeah, NOT so much! As some of you know we found our Dream Home in Sandpoint Idaho. Yup, leaving sun, sand and surf for snow and cold. Apparently I have lost every last one of my marbles.

These are pictures of taken from the balcony of my new dining-room and from upstairs in the Master Bedroom. See?? A marble…
