How Are Solar Panels Affected by Clouds?
Introduction High- effeciency solar panels convert the clean energy of sunlight into electricity used in corporate firms and households. They are considered a source of power. The PV grid is installed over the roof and directly interacts with the sun. However, The solar panel's efficiency is affected by various factors such as weather, temperature and time of the day. Clouds are also a major hindrance to the functioning of solar panels. They block light from the sun. The effect of clouds entirely depends on the type of clouds and the altitude of the clouds in the atmosphere. Sunlight hitting lower altitude clouds When sunlight penetrates the lower clouds, the light and heat get reflected back into space. So if the solar panels on your roof is covered by the lower clouds, then the output of the high-efficiency solar panels will be lesser as compared to the sunny days. As a result of that, power production will also be reduced. Sunlight penetrating high...
