But&nbsp;even&nbsp;though&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;are&nbsp;more&nbsp;efficient&nbsp;in&nbsp;cold&nbsp;weather,&nbsp;they&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;necessarily&nbsp;produce&nbsp;more&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;winter&nbsp;than&nbsp;in&nbsp;summer.&nbsp;Sunnier&nbsp;weather&nbsp;often&nbsp;occurs&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;warmer&nbsp;summer&nbsp;months.&nbsp;In&nbsp;addition&nbsp;to&nbsp;fewer&nbsp;clouds,&nbsp;the&nbsp;sun&nbsp;is&nbsp;usually&nbsp;out&nbsp;for&nbsp;more&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;day.&nbsp;So&nbsp;even&nbsp;though&nbsp;your&nbsp;panels&nbsp;may&nbsp;be&nbsp;less&nbsp;efficient&nbsp;in&nbsp;warm&nbsp;weather,&nbsp;they&#8217;ll&nbsp;still&nbsp;likely&nbsp;produce&nbsp;more&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;in&nbsp;summer&nbsp;than&nbsp;in&nbsp;winter. Do&nbsp;Some&nbsp;place&nbsp;Get&nbsp;More&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;Energy&nbsp;Than&nbsp;Others? Obviously,&nbsp;some&nbsp;places&nbsp;get&nbsp;more&nbsp;sun&nbsp;than&nbsp;others.&nbsp;So&nbsp;the&nbsp;real&nbsp;question&nbsp;is:&nbsp;if&nbsp;weather&nbsp;can&nbsp;affect&nbsp;solar&nbsp;energy&nbsp;production,&nbsp;are&nbsp;some&nbsp;places&nbsp;better&nbsp;candidates&nbsp;for&nbsp;solar&nbsp;energy&nbsp;than&nbsp;others?&nbsp;The&nbsp;short&nbsp;answer&nbsp;is&nbsp;yes,&nbsp;but&nbsp;not&nbsp;necessarily&nbsp;because&nbsp;of&nbsp;weather. Take&nbsp;clouds&nbsp;for&nbsp;example.&nbsp;Anyone&nbsp;who&nbsp;has&nbsp;been&nbsp;sunburned&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;cloudy&nbsp;day&nbsp;knows&nbsp;that&nbsp;solar&nbsp;radiation&nbsp;penetrates&nbsp;through&nbsp;clouds.&nbsp;For&nbsp;that&nbsp;same&nbsp;reason,&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;can&nbsp;still&nbsp;produce&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;on&nbsp;cloudy&nbsp;days.&nbsp;But&nbsp;depending&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;cloud&nbsp;cover&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;quality&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;solar panels,&nbsp;the&nbsp;efficiency&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;production&nbsp;commonly&nbsp;drops&nbsp;from&nbsp;10&nbsp;to&nbsp;25&nbsp;percent&nbsp;or&nbsp;more&nbsp;compared&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;sunny&nbsp;day. In&nbsp;other&nbsp;words,&nbsp;solar&nbsp;power&nbsp;can&nbsp;still&nbsp;work&nbsp;well&nbsp;in&nbsp;typically&nbsp;cloudy,&nbsp;cold&nbsp;locations.&nbsp; No&nbsp;matter&nbsp;where&nbsp;you&nbsp;live,&nbsp;solar&nbsp;energy&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;an&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;investment&nbsp;and&nbsp;an&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;way&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;combat&nbsp;climate&nbsp;change.&nbsp;How&nbsp;much&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;save&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;and&nbsp;how&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;see&nbsp;a&nbsp;return&nbsp;on&nbsp;your&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;particular&nbsp;state&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;depends&nbsp;on&nbsp;many&nbsp;factors,&nbsp;like&nbsp;the&nbsp;cost&nbsp;of&nbsp;electricity,&nbsp;solar&nbsp;incentives&nbsp;available,&nbsp;net&nbsp;metering,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;quality&nbsp;of&nbsp;your&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels. How&nbsp;Do&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;Panels&nbsp;Work? When&nbsp;photons&nbsp;hit&nbsp;a&nbsp;solar&nbsp;cell,&nbsp;they&nbsp;knock&nbsp;electrons&nbsp;loose&nbsp;from&nbsp;their&nbsp;atoms.&nbsp;If&nbsp;conductors&nbsp;are&nbsp;attached&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;positive&nbsp;and&nbsp;negative&nbsp;sides&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;cell,&nbsp;it&nbsp;forms&nbsp;an&nbsp;electrical&nbsp;circuit.&nbsp;When&nbsp;electrons&nbsp;flow&nbsp;through&nbsp;such&nbsp;a&nbsp;circuit,&nbsp;they&nbsp;generate&nbsp;electricity.&nbsp;Multiple&nbsp;cells&nbsp;make&nbsp;up&nbsp;a&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel,&nbsp;and&nbsp;multiple&nbsp;panels&nbsp;(modules)&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;wired&nbsp;together&nbsp;to&nbsp;form&nbsp;a&nbsp;solar&nbsp;array.&nbsp;The&nbsp;more&nbsp;panels&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;deploy,&nbsp;the&nbsp;more&nbsp;energy&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;expect&nbsp;to&nbsp;generate. What&nbsp;are&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;Panels&nbsp;Made&nbsp;of? Photovoltaic&nbsp;(PV)&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;are&nbsp;made&nbsp;up&nbsp;of&nbsp;many&nbsp;solar&nbsp;cells.&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;cells&nbsp;are&nbsp;made&nbsp;of&nbsp;silicon,&nbsp;like&nbsp;semiconductors.&nbsp;They&nbsp;are&nbsp;constructed&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;positive&nbsp;layer&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;negative&nbsp;layer,&nbsp;which&nbsp;together&nbsp;create&nbsp;an&nbsp;electric&nbsp;field,&nbsp;just&nbsp;like&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;battery. How&nbsp;Do&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;Panels&nbsp;Generate&nbsp;Electricity? PV&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;generate&nbsp;direct&nbsp;current&nbsp;(DC)&nbsp;electricity.&nbsp;With&nbsp;DC&nbsp;electricity,&nbsp;electrons&nbsp;flow&nbsp;in&nbsp;one&nbsp;direction&nbsp;around&nbsp;a&nbsp;circuit.&nbsp;This&nbsp;example&nbsp;shows&nbsp;a&nbsp;battery&nbsp;powering&nbsp;a&nbsp;light&nbsp;bulb.&nbsp;The&nbsp;electrons&nbsp;move&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;negative&nbsp;side&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;battery,&nbsp;through&nbsp;the&nbsp;lamp,&nbsp;and&nbsp;return&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;positive&nbsp;side&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;battery. With&nbsp;AC&nbsp;(alternating&nbsp;current)&nbsp;electricity,&nbsp;electrons&nbsp;are&nbsp;pushed&nbsp;and&nbsp;pulled,&nbsp;periodically&nbsp;reversing&nbsp;direction,&nbsp;much&nbsp;like&nbsp;the&nbsp;cylinder&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;car&#8217;s&nbsp;engine.&nbsp;Generators&nbsp;create&nbsp;AC&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;when&nbsp;a&nbsp;coil&nbsp;of&nbsp;wire&nbsp;is&nbsp;spun&nbsp;next&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;magnet.&nbsp;Many&nbsp;different&nbsp;energy&nbsp;sources&nbsp;can&nbsp;&#8220;turn&nbsp;the&nbsp;handle&#8221;&nbsp;of&nbsp;this&nbsp;generator,&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;gas&nbsp;or&nbsp;diesel&nbsp;fuel,&nbsp;hydroelectricity,&nbsp;nuclear,&nbsp;coal,&nbsp;wind,&nbsp;or&nbsp;solar. AC&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;was&nbsp;chosen&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;electrical&nbsp;power&nbsp;grid,&nbsp;primarily&nbsp;because&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;less&nbsp;expensive&nbsp;to&nbsp;transmit&nbsp;over&nbsp;long&nbsp;distances.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panels&nbsp;create&nbsp;DC&nbsp;electricity.&nbsp;How&nbsp;do&nbsp;we&nbsp;get&nbsp;DC&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;AC&nbsp;grid?&nbsp;We&nbsp;use&nbsp;an&nbsp;inverter. What&nbsp;Does&nbsp;a&nbsp;Solar Inverter&nbsp;Do? A&nbsp;solar&nbsp;inverter&nbsp;takes&nbsp;the&nbsp;DC&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;solar&nbsp;array&nbsp;and&nbsp;uses&nbsp;that&nbsp;to&nbsp;create&nbsp;AC&nbsp;electricity.&nbsp;Inverters&nbsp;are&nbsp;like&nbsp;the&nbsp;brains&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;system.&nbsp;Along&nbsp;with&nbsp;inverting&nbsp;DC&nbsp;to&nbsp;AC&nbsp;power,&nbsp;they&nbsp;also&nbsp;provide&nbsp;ground&nbsp;fault&nbsp;protection&nbsp;and&nbsp;system&nbsp;stats,&nbsp;including&nbsp;voltage&nbsp;and&nbsp;current&nbsp;on&nbsp;AC&nbsp;and&nbsp;DC&nbsp;circuits,&nbsp;energy&nbsp;production&nbsp;and&nbsp;maximum&nbsp;power&nbsp;point&nbsp;tracking. Central&nbsp;inverters&nbsp;have&nbsp;dominated&nbsp;the&nbsp;solar&nbsp;industry&nbsp;since&nbsp;the&nbsp;beginning.&nbsp;The&nbsp;introduction&nbsp;of&nbsp;micro-inverters&nbsp;is&nbsp;one&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;biggest&nbsp;technology&nbsp;shifts&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;PV&nbsp;industry.&nbsp;Micro-inverters&nbsp;optimize&nbsp;for&nbsp;each&nbsp;individual&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel,&nbsp;not&nbsp;for&nbsp;an&nbsp;entire&nbsp;solar&nbsp;system,&nbsp;as&nbsp;central&nbsp;inverters&nbsp;do. This&nbsp;enables&nbsp;every&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel&nbsp;to&nbsp;perform&nbsp;at&nbsp;maximum&nbsp;potential.&nbsp;When&nbsp;a&nbsp;central&nbsp;inverter&nbsp;is&nbsp;used,&nbsp;having&nbsp;a&nbsp;problem&nbsp;on&nbsp;one&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel&nbsp;(maybe&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;shade&nbsp;or&nbsp;has&nbsp;gotten&nbsp;dirty)&nbsp;can&nbsp;drag&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;performance&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;entire&nbsp;solar&nbsp;array.&nbsp;Micro-inverters,&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;ones&nbsp;in&nbsp;SunPower&#8217;s&nbsp;Equinox&nbsp;home&nbsp;solar&nbsp;system,&nbsp;make&nbsp;this&nbsp;a&nbsp;non-issue.&nbsp;If&nbsp;one&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel&nbsp;has&nbsp;an&nbsp;issue,&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;solar&nbsp;array&nbsp;still&nbsp;performs&nbsp;efficiently. How&nbsp;Does&nbsp;a&nbsp;Solar&nbsp;Panel&nbsp;System&nbsp;Work? Here&#8217;s&nbsp;an&nbsp;example&nbsp;of&nbsp;how&nbsp;a&nbsp;home&nbsp;solar&nbsp;energy&nbsp;installation&nbsp;works.&nbsp;First,&nbsp;sunlight&nbsp;hits&nbsp;a&nbsp;solar&nbsp;panel&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;roof.&nbsp;The&nbsp;panels&nbsp;convert&nbsp;the&nbsp;energy&nbsp;to&nbsp;DC&nbsp;current,&nbsp;which&nbsp;flows&nbsp;to&nbsp;an&nbsp;inverter.&nbsp;The&nbsp;inverter&nbsp;converts&nbsp;the&nbsp;electricity&nbsp;from&nbsp;DC&nbsp;to&nbsp;AC,&nbsp;which&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;then&nbsp;use&nbsp;to&nbsp;power&nbsp;your&nbsp;home.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;beautifully&nbsp;simple&nbsp;and&nbsp;clean,&nbsp;and&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;getting&nbsp;more&nbsp;efficient&nbsp;and&nbsp;affordable&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;time.
