5.0 Conclusions & Recommendations
After analyzing the data collected in the 2011-2012 winter season, the question “does snow accumulation significantly reduce the power output of PV solar panels?” was answered with a high degree of certainty. It is evident that snow accumulation on PV panels does in fact decrease their power output, but these results suggest a reduction only for about half of a post-snowfall day for a collector facing due south at a 45 degree tilt angle. It was concluded that the differences in power output observed between the control and treatment panels were slightly significant and therefore the null hypothesis was rejected. In addition, it was concluded that overall, the issue of snow accumulation has more of an impact on clear, sunny days. This is because cloud cover drastically reduces the amount of power output much more than snow does. This will have implications for residential solar panel systems insofar as it is more important for the panels to be cleaned of snow if it is a clear day in order to generate the most energy possible for the system. It is less urgent on cloudy days, since the amount of energy generated on these days is much smaller in comparison to sunny days. Therefore, for systems that depend completely on solar power, this is a problem, especially when snow is covering PV panels on sunny days, since the system would lose a significant amount of power potential.
The additional objectives were also addressed in this study. Firstly, the time it takes for the panels to be completely cleared of snow was determined to only be between three and six hours. This was a much shorter time frame than what was suggested by previous studies. Although the factors contributing to snow melt on the control panels were not identified due to small sample sizes and equipment errors, some factors seem favourable such as snow type and temperature. Additional study periods are required in order to draw conclusions regarding these two objectives.

5.0 结论 & 建议
分析数据收集在后 2011年-2012 冬季，问题"雪的积累，可以明显减少的光伏太阳能电池板输出功率吗?"得到的回答高度的确定性。很明显光伏板上的积雪事实上不会减少其输出功率但是，这些结果表明减少仅为约一半后降雪天南面临到期 45 度的倾斜角度收集器。得出的结论是稍有显著的输出功率的控制和治疗的面板之间观察到差异并因此的空值假设被拒绝了。此外，它的结论，就整体而言，雪积累的问题有更多的影响清晰、 阳光灿烂的日子。这是因为云层覆盖极大地减少了电源输出更多比雪量。只要它更重要的是两个事务委员会将被清洗的雪，如果要生成最大的能源，系统可能是晴朗的日子，这将产生对住宅太阳能电池板系统的影响。它是阴天，较不紧急，因为能源上这些天生成量与阳光明媚的日子相比要小得多。因此，对于完全取决于太阳能发电系统，这是一个问题，尤其是当雪覆盖了光伏板上阳光明媚的日子，因为系统会失去大量的电源潜力。
这项研究中还涉及到的其他目标。首先，小组以完全清除积雪的用的时间被确定仅为三至六个小时之间。这是比以前的研究而提出了更短的时间。虽然雪做出贡献的因素融化的控制板上没有查明小样本大小和设备错误一些因素似乎有利雪类型和温度等。得出结论关于这两个目标需要更多研究的时间。

5结论&建议
分析在2011-2012年冬季收集的数据，这个问题“雪的积累显着降低光伏太阳能电池板的输出功率？“是一个高度的肯定回答。显而易见的是，光伏电池板的雪积累事实上降低其输出功率，但是，这些结果表明，只有约一半的降雪量减少后一天的集电极面向正南，在一个45度的倾斜角。得出的结论是，在输出功率控制和治疗观察面板之间的差异略显着因此被拒绝零假设。此外，得出的结论是，总体，积雪的问题有更明确的影响，阳光灿烂的日子。这是因为云层覆盖，大大减少了大量的输出功率比雪呢。这将对住宅太阳能面板系统的影响就要清除积雪如果是为了产生能源最可能的系统，一个晴朗的日子里，面板，更重要的是。它不在阴天迫切，因为在阳光明媚的日子比较这些天的发电量要小得多。因此，这完全取决于太阳能发电系统，这是一个问题，尤其是当白雪覆盖的太阳能电池板在阳光明媚的日子，因为系统会失去大量的潜力。
额外的目标是在这项研究中也讨论。首先，确定只有三小时和六小时之间，它需要彻底清除积雪的面板的时间。这是比我们以前的研究表明，更短的时间内。虽然因素导致积雪融化的控制面板上的不确定因小样本及设备误差，有些因素似乎有如雪的类型和温度。额外的学习时间是要围绕这两个目标得出结论。
