If you ask this question, does the solar panel work when it\'s cloudy?
, The average person will no doubt guess, well, no, how can they do this when there is no sunshine for them to work together?
In fact, this answer is partly correct because solar panels are less efficient in cloudy conditions than on sunny days.
In fact, the production of solar panels has been reduced by at least 50% on cloudy days, and may even be reduced to 5-10% of the production on sunny days.
But the problem is that they are actually still doing their work even if the rates are lowered.
This is a good proof of the amazing technology of solar panels, so let\'s take a look at it in depth.
How does the solar panel work when it\'s cloudy?
You might want to know how solar panels generate any electricity on cloudy days.
The answer is the incredible technology used by a single solar cell that takes light from the sun or photons (
Particles of light)
, And convert it into electricity, thanks to the silicon in the battery, which reacts with sunlight to create a charge.
Thanks to French scientist Edmund becquerel for discovering the so-called \"photovoltaic effect\" in the 19 th century \"!
Many solar cells are combined into solar panels, so that the small charge generated by a single solar cell is multiplied, resulting in a large amount of wattage from the entire panel.
Solar panels perform best in sun, shadow-free conditions, so any type of shadow or cloud will seriously affect the performance of the panels, in extreme cloudy situations, panels can only run at 50% efficiency.
Multiply by multiple panels in the array (
The panel array is basically a set of panels, something you usually need to provide enough power to run household appliances, electronics, etc. ), and the fall-
It can be dramatic in the performance.
What happens if your panel is not running?
What can you do if you only get 50% of the solar panel production and that\'s not enough to keep your home appliances running properly?
Well, if you live on the Internet, there is no need to panic, because thanks to the miracle of net metering, your utility can make up for the balance of electricity and keep your family running properly, all your appliances and equipment will remain in normal operation.
This is one of the advantages of having a grid-
Because there is a problem with your system at any time and you can\'t generate the amount of power you need for a particular task, this is the source of your utility and makes up for the shortfall in your system.
Unless you and your utility have enough electricity credit, you will be charged by the utility at the rate at that time for the electricity withdrawn from the grid, however, as long as the grid is available, you will never have electricity.
If you don\'t know how the grid is
If your system is generating electricity and is not used by you or your home, then the bundled solar power generation system will work, the power is entered into the grid, and your account is credited to that power;
The more power you supply to the grid from your system, the more credit you accumulate.
If you live not far from the grid, that\'s where the backup energy supply you save in your battery pack works, your system switches the power generated from the solar panel to the power stored in the battery.
As long as you save enough energy in your battery, you can continue to run your appliance without missing any beat.
Many people live in a remote place.
The grid solar power system also has a generator as an additional backup of the battery pack in case the power runs out.
So, \"does the solar panel work when it\'s cloudy ? \" What is the answer to this question?
\"It\'s loud\" Yes!
\", But the incidental condition is that the efficiency of the solar panel is greatly reduced by 50%.
That\'s how utility companies came in-
The grid solar power generation system, because it makes up for any shortage of the system\'s production capacity. And off-
The grid system has a battery pack and usually a generator to provide electricity that the solar power system cannot provide.
In other words, even if cloudy weather does adversely affect the solar power generation system, it doesn\'t mean that you need to have no electricity as usual to continue living, at least from the perspective of electricity.
