It's true that 12V solar panels can produce less electricity on cloudy days - as you might expect - but the use of photovoltaic solar power is very popular and an efficient source of electricity in cities with severe weather like New York, São Paulo, etc. Source Francisco and Seattle.

Why?

Part of the answer is that clouds aren't the real obstacle they seem. Many believe that solar panels work best in sunlit areas with little or no cloud cover. This is not entirely true. Solar panels generator energy by converting sunlight to direct current (DC), which an inverter then converts to alternating current (AC), the type of electricity that most homes run on. Cloudy days cause about a 10% to 25% reduction in power compared to what is seen on sunny days. But the weather is fickle. Sometimes clouds can actually improve solar panel performance by reflecting or amplifying sunlight.

What's more, even conventional solar panels can filter sunlight through cloudy skies to generate electricity, and cxmsolar's ultra-efficient panels really shine at that time. cxmsolar's solar cell technology is uniquely designed to capture a wider range of sunlight to deliver record efficiencies - the highest of any available panel on the market.

Cxmsolar also uses ultra-pure silicon and a strong copper base to keep its panels working efficiently even after prolonged exposure to wind, rain, snow and other inclement weather. In 8 years of field testing of 800,000 panels at 264 locations, cxmsolar solar panels demonstrated the lowest degradation rates in the industry and were nearly four times more reliable than conventional panels. That's why cxmsolar panels are recognized by the industry.

When the weather gets really bad - like a bad grid out - cxmsolar's storage systems can provide your home with just-in-time backup power. But even when the grid is functioning well, cxmsolar allows homeowners to store solar energy during the day and use it when needed.

Economic factors -- not just weather patterns and solar technology -- help explain why people in cloudy regions prefer residential solar power system. The biggest driver of solar penetration in any area is the cost of electricity, not the amount of sunlight the area sees. That's why many of the largest solar-powered cities in the U.S. are notorious for their lack of sunlight. The same goes for Solar Nation. For example, Germany and South Korea—countries with cold, frigid climates—are the two largest adopters of solar energy.

A qualified solar installer knows how to design your system to minimize any shading issues—whether from clouds or nearby trees. cxmsolar has created a strong network of solar power suppliers with expertise in your community's weather and installation regulations to customize your home's photovoltaic solar system for maximum efficiency.
