- During the winter, solar generation is lower.
- Devices that run on direct DC power are also more expensive.
- For the same quantity of power generation, the size of solar panels vary based on geographical location.
- Cloudy days don't provide nearly as much energy as sunny days.
- Automobiles powered by the sun do not have the same speeds or power as automobiles driven by gasoline (this too is starting to change).
- Solar generation is lower in the winter.
