No. Solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to harness energy from sun, they just require some level of daylight in order to generate electricity. That said, the rate at which solar panels generate electricity varies depending on the amount of direct sunlight and the quality, size, number and location of panels in use.
Disadvantages of solar energy Solar panels are not useful when it is cloudy (which means solar farms are more effective in places with less cloud cover). Solar panels generate no electricity at night time. Solar panels can't store energy, so you have to use the electricity they generate when the sun is shining.
It is still possible to harness solar power in properties with a north facing roof. Panels can be pitched against the slope of the roof, although this will detract from the aesthetic look of the roofline. Alternatively, panels can be placed at ground level, but this does require avoiding areas of heavy shade.
Battery storage for solar panels may also require additional storage room but, once again, this can usually be built into the ceiling line of the property’s top floor. Solar panels collect power during the day and, in traditional systems, the power needed to be used straight away. It could not be stored.
Solar panels create no harmful gases, so it is very environmentally friendly. If the sun is shining on a solar panel on your house, you are able to use the energy for free, reducing electricity bills.
