If you are wondering if solar panels work on cloudy days then you are not alone. Especially with the transition from winter to spring, mother nature has not been very considerate of our vitamin D intake lately. If you are currently relying on solar panels or are considering installing them it’s important that you understand how they work and what they are capable of.
Do Solar Panels Work on Cloudy Days?
Yes! The simple answer is yes – although your solar panels are not producing at its maximum. The average production on a cloudy day is about 10-25% of their normal power output. It’s safe to say they are not producing as well, but they are still helping in the efficiency of your home and alleviating some of the costs associated with powering your home.
That being said, we are lucky enough to be top 2 in the country for solar power installed. Why? because on average we have great sun!
