It should come to no surprise that solar does indeed work during cloudy days when coverage is at it’s peak. While solar will not perform at it’s best, solar will still perform when the clouds are out and here’s why.

No matter where you live in the US, solar is an excellent investment because despite cloud coverage, solar will still operate. Although clouds do block sunlight, they don’t block out the entirety of the sun. This means that despite coverage, sunlight is still able to meet your solar, allowing you to generate your own energy. Whether your solar is operating during a cloudy day or under clear skies, your solar will still generate energy.

According to Energy Sage, solar panels generate roughly 10-25 percent of their normal power output during a cloudy day. While this isn’t full capacity, it’s still energy generated by your solar that serves to supplement the energy you borrow from the utility.

Solar is an excellent investment for anyone looking to generate their own energy and gain independence from the utility. When you generate your own energy with solar, you’re taking advantage of free power from the sun. Solar energy serves to offset your energy consumption from the grid, which in turn lowers utility bills and increases savings. When you generate more energy than you consume you may credited for that excess energy depending on your utility provider. Going solar is perfect for accumulating savings, whether there are clouds in the sky or not.
