Due to being close to one of the poles it makes it so that the energy requirements are at its highest when solar produces the least.

It is rare but not unheard of to have 0 hours of sun in December[1].

Luckily, solar panels will still produce electricity on cloudy days!

While that’s true the article mentions that the definition of “hours with sunlight” they are using is when more than 120w per m2 hits the earth. Around where I grew up the sun would rise around 10AM and then set around 2PM. Not nearly enough to meet power demands.
