Hi,
Any ideas how solar panels cope with winter frost and snow? I have a 100w kit from solarcampersolutions that I installed earlier in the spring, but wondered if it should be taken off for the winter months. Not too much snow here on the west coast of norway, but often frost and minus degrees at night through the winter months.

Shouldn't be a problem. Do houses with solar panels take them down in the winter?
 
Was this taken with the Mavrick air 2
 
Crikey! - some amazing photos, of vans, and scenery!

As for the panels - they should be fine - but if I were somewhere that went well below zero a lot, I might think about bringing it in of not needed - just to reduce wear from contraction and expansion. Just guessing mind you.
