What you can do about clouds slashing your solar power
Research shows that a small amount of cloud cover can have a dramatic impact on the amount of power a solar panel produces. Solar Advice director Neil Berrow says there are ways to compensate for South Africa’s cloudy days.
According to research published in Sustainability, solar panels that are 25% shaded produce 33.7% less power, while those shaded 75% produce 96.2% less power.
MyBroadband approached Neil Berrow of Solar Advice, who proposed solutions to mitigate the impact of weather instability on solar power generation.
