Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

How can I do a solar powered water desalination project during the winter?

Hi sciencesweetheart,

Welcome to Science Buddies! It sounds like you have a great project idea. The short answer to your question is: yes! You should be able to use solar panels in the winter.

I did a quick internet search for "using solar power in winter," and found all sorts of great advice online. Here is a sampling:
