Solar panel systems rely on the photovoltaic (PV) effect to convert sunlight into electricity. Naturally, weather conditions such as clouds, rain, and snow can significantly impact how much energy your system produces. While solar energy thrives in bright, sunny environments, that doesn’t mean it becomes ineffective during adverse weather.
While it might seem intuitive that higher temperatures lead to better performance, the opposite is true for PV systems. High Temperatures: Solar panels are less efficient at higher temperatures. For every degree Celsius above 25°C (77°F), the efficiency of a solar panel typically decreases by 0.5% to 0.7%.
In fact, solar panels are designed to operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures, including hot weather conditions. While it''s true that extremely high temperatures can slightly reduce their efficiency, solar panels continue to generate electricity even in the hottest climates.
Cloud Cover: Clouds can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching solar panels. On cloudy days, solar panels can still generate electricity, but the output is reduced. Depending on cloud density, energy production can drop by 10% to 25%. Rain: While rain can reduce solar irradiance, it also has a cleaning effect on solar panels.
