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.
