Yes, solar panels do work in the rain—just not at their full potential. Rainy or cloudy weather reduces the amount of sunlight hitting your solar panels. This, in turn, affects the energy output. It's important to note, however, that in areas with. . Although production drops compared to a clear sky, modern solar systems often make up for cloudy periods by producing excess electricity on sunnier days. Solar panels generate electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells made of semiconductor materials, usually silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it knocks electrons loose, creating an electric current.
