Rooftop solar panels do not generate electricity on rainy days
Many homeowners still believe that solar panels don't work on cloudy days, but energy expert James Fenton explained, "That's not really true. . They convert sunlight into electricity using tiny cells that respond to photons in the light spectrum. Even when the sky is gray, your panels are catching scattered light that slips through the clouds. " "Even on a very cloudy or rainy day, you'll get some electricity," Fenton, director of the Florida Solar Energy Center, told CNET.Read More Download PDF
