It’s rainy season again. Will my solar panels still work?
The answer is a big YES! Solar panels will still work when it’s cloudy or even when it’s raining.
One of the most common concerns by first-time solar buyers is the ability of the solar panels to function on rainy days. It’s not true that rain hinders solar panels from operating. The truth is, solar panels still generate electricity even when it’s raining.
Yes, panels operate most effectively when the sun is strong, but they don’t stop producing electricity when it is raining or cloudy if visible light gets through rain and clouds. In fact, rain helps the solar panels by washing away accumulated dirt and dust.
Photovoltaic (PV) panels use direct or indirect sunlight to generate electricity. That’s why solar panels will still function even when the light is reflected or partially blocked by clouds.
Moreover, solar panel technologies can endure heavy rain, wind and cycles of heat and cold for years. Their electronic components are designed with advanced technology to protect them from the harsh weather.
