Solar panels power generation efficiency on rainy days
On cloudy or rainy days, PV panels typically produce anywhere from 10% to 25% of their optimal capacity, experts say.
On cloudy or rainy days, PV panels typically produce anywhere from 10% to 25% of their optimal capacity, experts say.
They can produce 20 to 40% of their usual power even on cloudy or rainy days. This shows how well solar technology works, even in tough weather.
Solar panels will still generate electricity during cloudy weather, rain or any other period of indirect sunlight, just not as efficiently.
The good news is that while solar panels are less effective on cloudy or rainy days, they can still generate some percentage of electricity.
Solar panels are most efficient when they are clean and free of debris. When it rains, the water can wash away dirt and grime that has built up on the panels, which can actually increase efficiency.
