How well do solar module withstand, and work in, inclement weather?
On cloudy days, solar modules work, although they produce less electricity than on sunny days. Under a light overcast, the modules might produce about half as much as under full sun, ranging down to as little as five to ten percent under a dark overcast day. If the modules become covered with snow, they may stop producing power but snow generally melts quickly when the sun strikes the modules. When the snow comes off, they resume operation immediately.
