Is it true that solar panels still generate electricity in rain, at reduced output compared with full sunlight?
Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items show solar panel output depends on sunlight intensity and report efficiency figures for sunny conditions, which is consistent with reduced output when light is weaker, but neither item tests or mentions rain, so the claim's rain-specific assertion is only partially covered.
