We have presented technical solutions of an energy supplying complex of apiary based on a solar plant, which ensure its functioning in the winter. Various aspects of the influence of the snow cover on the functioning of the complex are considered in the article. The favorable effect of the snow cover includes increasing the diffuse insolation, improving the thermal insulation of the building for placement of bees, which protects bee families from fluctuating external temperature. The negative effect of the snow cover includes adherence of snow to the receiving surfaces of solar energy converters, which can lead to decreasing the efficiency of using of photovoltaic modules and solar collectors. Both active and passive methods of combating snow sticking are suggested in article. Passive methods include installation of solar energy converters at an angle close to 90°, as well as their placement on the windward side. The simulation of the functioning of the complex based on a solar plant was conducted for climatic conditions of the Republic of Mari El (the time interval – from 14 October to 14 April, a photovoltaic module area – 1,3 m 2 with installation angles of 72˚ and 88˚). Because of the simulation, we obtained graphs of the changing the power of the photovoltaic module. Active methods include air injection onto the receiving surfaces of solar energy converters and using of heating elements
