Minnesota has 3.5 GW of wind power - about 20% of what failed in Texas. They also have costly winterization packages installed - based on the climate.
Solar is really a non- issue, but I doubt they produce significant energy on a good winter day, or any during a storm or when covered with ice.
Why would you say that?
Solar power is independent of exterior temperature, unless they’re covered with snow or ice. And the panels will shed the snow and ice before anything around them does.
