Solar panels can remain useful for multistory buildings even in winter. In particular, in January and February they are capable of supplying electricity to individual building systems.
In an exclusive comment to Telegraf, Yuliya Borodina, head of the homeowners association (HOA) and the public organization 'Leaders in Housing Management,' explained this.

"With generators, it's a different story. They break down. If they were installed in the first winters, now many HOAs are buying new ones and updating equipment," Borodina says.
At the same time, the expert advises not to write off solar panels. According to her, in December they do not operate very efficiently, but in January and February generation noticeably improves.
"Not as much as in summer, but for supporting one or two systems it's excellent," noted Yuliya Borodina.
As a reminder, as Telegraf previously reported, one open window left an entire building without heat: what danger Kyiv residents face during blackouts.
