Solar panels (photovoltaic cells) still work when the panel is shaded.

The statement that solar panels (photovoltaic cells) still work when the panel is shaded is false. The solar panel needs direct sunlight in order to produce electricity. However, modern solar panels work even in poor light conditions. Shade reduces the effectiveness of solar panels, which means that less electricity is produced.
