The short answer is yes, solar panels do work when it''s cloudy, but they don''t make as much power. The output of most panels drops by 10 to 25 percent when clouds block the sun. Even

Solar panels can generate electricity even in less sunny areas, though at a reduced capacity. Thin-film and bifacial solar panels are well-suited

While this diffuse light is less powerful than direct sunlight, today''s panels can effectively capture and convert it into electricity. Here''s something interesting: solar panels actually work more
