Yes, solar panels do work on cloudy days, though their efficiency is reduced compared to sunny conditions. Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, not just direct sunlight, which means they can still produce power from the diffuse light that penetrates through clouds. On a typical cloudy day, solar panels may operate at around 10-25% of their normal capacity, depending on cloud thickness and weather conditions. Advancements in solar technology, particularly in monocrystalline panels, allow for better performance in low-light environments. While cloudy days result in lower output, your system can still produce energy, and pairing solar with battery storage ensures consistent power, even when the sun isn’t shining. Harnessing the sun’s energy isn’t limited to clear skies!
