In order not to beat around the bush and cause doubts to multiply, the quick answer to this question is that yes, they do work. Although many think that when there are clouds in the sky the plates do not produce energy, the truth is that they do. It is true that clouds can limit the radiation received by solar panels. However, they do not totally prevent light from reaching our installation. This is known as diffuse radiation, which is what happens when the sun's rays pass through clouds or fog.

In this way, as long as there is light in the environment, our plates will continue to generate energy. Although it is true that the electricity produced will not be the same as if the sun hits them directly. This causes many people to resort to the installation of solar batteries, which allows them to be covered at night and also on days when the cloudiness is very high.
