Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, but at reduced efficiency. They rely on both direct and diffuse sunlight to produce power. Cloud cover decreases the amount of direct sunlight reaching the panels. Energy output may drop to 10-25% of normal production during overcast conditions. Solar energy systems often include battery storage or grid connection to ensure continuous power supply.
