Turns out there is more to good solar energy production than blazing sun year round. Yes sunlight is important however, air temperature, winds and humidity also play an important role in ideal conditions to produce solar energy.
Solar panels do work most efficiently in direct sunlight however they will still work in cloudy conditions by collecting light energy reflected off the clouds. Areas where frequent rain occurs will help keep your panels working their best by washing away any dust or dirt from the surface.
