How do weather effect solar panel generation?
Weather can affect the amount of electricity that solar panels are able to generate by reducing the amount of sunlight that the panels receive, and by potentially damaging the panels themselves.
Additionally, extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow or hail can damage solar panels, which can also reduce the amount of electricity that they are able to generate. In some cases, extreme weather conditions may even require the temporary shutdown of a solar panel system in order to protect the panels from damage.
In general, solar panels are most effective at generating electricity when they receive direct sunlight, so cloudy or overcast weather can reduce their effectiveness, while extreme weather conditions can potentially damage the panels and reduce their ability to generate electricity.
