@Keenan
We have a huge solar array on the rooftop of my work building (one of Oblama's "shovel ready projects.....). About 400 commercial panels, all feeding a humongous DC inverter. We just had a snowstorm of sorts down this way yesterday, anywhere from 5-16" of heavy, wet snow depending on where you were). I checked the power metering this morning here, and it was putting out a whopping ZERO amps, and about 2 kw of power. Now that the sun's been out a bit, I figure the panels are slowly starting to shed their load.....it's up to 4kw, and about 10A. It's comical. Luckily, it's just supplemental power for our facility, we still have a tie in to the local utility (400A service).
ETA: the company that installed the entire solar system is long since defunct as well. It will slowly die an untimely death, one component at a time.....
