Can clouds really affect the use of solar power system or solar panel

Using solar power means great deal of benefits for you as well as our planet. If you use solar power by having solar panels, you can reduce your electricity costs. At the same time, solar panel provide clean and renewable energy source which will not damage our planet of using it, producing it and exploiting it.

However, the use of solar power system is subject to availability of sun and clouds can interfere with this and block or damage the use of this energy source.
There are areas in the world where due to cloudy weather, the use of solar power is limited (and then the use of wind power comes into place). It might also be applicable during some seasons of the year, where more clouds appear

So let’s try to answer the basic question: If I build solar power system, will cloudy weather impact the use of it

The bad news is the clouds have an effect on the amount of power that can be produced. The energy capacity and ability to make electricity is directly dependant on how much sun the solar power system gets

In many bright full sunny days, the system will perform perfectly. While the regular daylight times, the system will create the most energy it can

However, in light cloudy weather, there is much direct sun hence, less light shed on the solar panels. If the amount of light is still sufficient, the system will continue to produce around half of the capacity. In much more cloudy days, will take the energy creation capability even lower but in full long days of clouds and gray skies the solar panel will not have enough light to produce the energy we wish to have

The Good News is the even in days where there are clouds but it is mainly small ones or for short time, the system will perform at its best. The main reason for that is that the clouds reflect more sun on the solar panels then just regular straight sun. By that the panels actually get more then 100% of the sun they have in clear skies. It can produce up to 50% more in such weather conditions

But if there is more clouds then that there is some challenge with solar power system. Here is how you can resolve the challenge

• For areas in which there are more clouds in the afternoon, aim your solar panels to the east where the sun comes in the morning hours
• 2. Increase your battery size so it will charge much more energy into it while there is enough sun

There are many other activities you can do to overcome this
