Even when the sky is overcast, your solar panels continue to harness the sun’s energy, converting photons into electricity. While they may produce less power on cloudy days compared to sunny ones, rest assured that they are still generating free electricity for you.
Research indicates that even if shadows are present, there is still enough sunlight for energy production. On a partly cloudy day, your system’s output might decrease to 75%, but even on the gloomiest of days, it could still generate 10% to 30% of the electricity it would under clear skies.
Furthermore, solar panels are known to be more efficient in cooler temperatures, providing a little extra boost on those cloudy days.
This highlights the importance of partnering with an installer that offers production guarantees, such as our Triple Ten guarantee.
