The same way when it is sunny. Their is no diffrence from when it is sunny or clowdey other than the amount of power that is transfered. The clouds will restrict the amount of sun light their for alowing less of the suns rays to pass. This will result in less power or electrical energy input.

Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days because they can capture diffuse sunlight. While they are most efficient in direct sunlight, solar panels can still produce energy from ambient light. However, the energy output will be lower compared to sunny days.

Can a solar cooker work on a cloudy day?

A solar cooker can still work on a cloudy day, although its efficiency will be reduced compared to a sunny day. The amount of sunlight reaching the cooker's surface will determine how quickly it can heat up and cook food.


Do solar panels work not as well on cloudy days?

It depends on how cloudy the sky is and what type of clouds there are. Of course bright sunny days are the best. Still, a considerable amount of light gets through clouds. Ultraviolet light shines through clouds. If solar panels could be designed to pick up ultraviolet, then they would work fine on cloudy days.
