How will weather affect my solar array?

Weather plays a role in the amount of power a solar energy system will generate. Bright sun is obviously the most productive scenario, but power is still produced on overcast days. Unless a panel (or series of panels) are completely covered by something, they will continue to produce power. Overall production of energy will be the greatest in the summer months because the number of daylight hours is greater than winter months. Cold, yet sunny, winter days actually allow the equipment to operate very efficiently.
