Comment on am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks agoisn’t the atmosphere transparent for most of the light, though? (except UV, but that gets filtered out even at the equator, so it’s the same everywhere again)

It isn’t perfectly transparent, because it has dust, moisture, and other particles in the air that block or deflect a portion of the light.

thank you, i’ll consider this the best answer as it names both dust and moisture as reasons why sunlight is blocked.
