Is electricity still generated, even if the day is cloudy?
Yes, photovoltaic panels also work on cloudy days. To generate electricity, photovoltaic panels capture the energy from sunlight and not from the sun’s heat, so it still works even if it is cloudy. What does vary depending on the radiation is the power delivered by the panels.
