I live in the west Michigan snow belt and yes they do produce power when covered by snow. It's not uncommon for us to get a foot and a half of snow in one fall. With the panels in their winter position (nearly vertical) they don't accumulate more than 3 or 4 inches on them no matter how much snow falls. I often check the meter to see how much current I get before and after brushing them off. My system can generate over 90 amps @ 12VDC but with snow on them I typically see about 16 amps. provided it's a sunny day. With clouds or haze it can be even less, rarely is it ever zero. When our battery bank was nearing the end of it's life span I would brush them off because it was more like trying to charge a capacitor than a battery. With the new batteries we bought last summer I don't bother because I usually have plenty of reserve charge, so I just wait for them to shed on there own.
