Do Solar panels work in Cornwall’s weather?

Yes, solar panels work very well in Cornwall’s weather, making it one of the best locations in the UK for solar energy. This is because panels operate on light (photons) rather than heat, and the region receives some of the highest levels of solar irradiation in the country.

Even on cloudy days, panels capture diffused daylight to generate electricity, and the temperate maritime climate prevents overheating, which actually allows the panels to run at near-optimal efficiency more consistently throughout the year.
