Solar panels harness energy from the sun using photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The more light that hits the cells, the more power they generate. But even on overcast or foggy days, solar panels can still produce electricity. This is possible because:

• • Diffuse Light Collection: Solar panels capture both direct sunlight and diffuse light. Diffuse light is the scattered sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface even on cloudy or foggy days. While fog may block direct sunlight, there is still enough diffuse light to power the solar panels.

• • Efficiency in Lower Light: Advances in solar technology have increased the efficiency of panels, allowing them to work well in lower light conditions. High-efficiency panels like those offered by Sun Kissed Energy can generate power from lower light levels, making them effective even in Newfoundland’s fog-prone environment.

• • Temperature Benefits: Interestingly, solar panels operate more efficiently in cooler temperatures. Newfoundland’s cooler, foggy climate can help solar systems maintain better performance, as excessively high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of solar panels.

Solar Power in Newfoundland: A Sustainable Future

Sun Kissed Energy is honoured to bring Solar Energy to the residents and business owners of Newfoundland, knowing the energy challenges they face. By tapping into renewable solar energy, residents can reduce their dependence on traditional energy sources, lower utility bills, and contribute to a more sustainable future. As solar technology continues to improve, even foggy climates like Newfoundland can take advantage of solar energy to power homes and businesses year-round.

Foggy days are no obstacle for solar technology. With Sun Kissed Energy’s efficient solar panels now available in Newfoundland, even areas with more challenging weather patterns can embrace a greener, solar-powered future. Contact us if you’d like to learn more.
