effects of cloud cover on solar panel energy production
Cloud cover can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching solar panels, leading to a decrease in energy production. This is because clouds block or scatter sunlight, reducing the intensity of the light that solar panels can convert into electricity. As a result, solar panel energy production is lower on overcast days compared to clear, sunny days.
