The demand for environmentally friendly and low-CO2 forms of energy generation has been increasing in Europe since the "Green Deal" was presented by the EU Commission in 2019, defining the climate neutrality of 26 member states up to the year 2050. Among other methods, the focus is on solar energy as an important representative in this area.

PV systems are typically designed for a lifespan of 20-25 years; however, in cold regions the effective life expectancy of ground-mounted systems may be shorter due to some aggressive environmental conditions.
Frost heave may affect the power generation and even stability of solar racks. In sub-zero temperatures, water in the soil freezes, and the volume of the soil around the footings, e.g., micro piles, increases. This results in
Frost heave may affect the power generation and even stability of solar racks. In sub-zero temperatures, water in the soil freezes, and the volume of the soil around the footings, e.g., micro piles, increases. This results in upward movement of the solar racks. Depending on the type of the soil, this cyclic frost-heave movement can occur at a
Power generation from a solar photovoltaic (PV) project peaks in summer and dips during winter as the solar radiation intensity in winter is relatively low. The major effects on the operation of solar power projects in winter are: Low temperature. In cold weather, the ambient temperature drops and to below freezing point in some areas. Since
Put your charge controller in low-power mode. This is very controller-specific: consult your controller manual. This may include disconnecting the display or reducing the performance level to save power. Put your ground

Electricity generation loss due to snow on PV systems is generally less than 10%. Winter month generation loss due to snow is generally higher than 25%. Climate and system characteristics have a significant impact on loss. Threshold type snow coverage prediction models are most effective.

Keeping within the limits of effective power generation, it is also convenient for snow on the surface of the solar panel to slide down on its own. When installing, keep a certain distance between the bottom of the solar panel and the ground to prevent snow from accumulating on the bottom.

In sub-zero temperatures, frost heave may affect the power generation and even stability of solar racks. The water in the soil freezes, and the volume of the soil around the footings, such as micro piles, increases, resulting in upward movement of the solar racks.
Movement of footing as a result of frost-heave may lead to permanent damage to the solar rack and power generation in the solar panels. Lack of a uniform engineering standard adds complexity to the liability arising from the solar panels, particularly for flat roof installations.
However, freezing in winter affects the operation of cooling towers. For the problem of hanging ice at the air inlet of the cooling tower, the dry and wet mixing operation can raise the temperature of the air inlet louvers and prevent them from being frozen effectively.
When using solar energy, sufficient cooling is necessary to ensure that the equipment does not overheat and can operate continuously. In solar power, the choice of a proper cooling method is crucial for the operation of the power plant, especially when techno-economics are taken into account.
To address this problem, three methods of freeze protection for cooling towers are studied: (a) the dry and wet mixing operation method—the method of selecting heat exchangers under dry operation at different environments and inlet water temperatures is presented.
Frost heave can cause structural deflection and changes in the angle of solar panels. This may lead to failure or deformation of connections, racking systems, disconnection of conductors, and/or grounding in the frozen soil. Non-uniform deflections of the footing system are the primary cause of these issues.
