The LCOE is a calculation that gives you a consistent comparison of the cost of generating electricity from different energy sources. It includes the total cost of energy over a system’s life span. Light
Light is the key ingredient is this entire process, and without the sun – the light that never goes out – we wouldn’t have solar power, or indeed humans.
But if the sun’s covered, don’t worry – you don’t need visible light to charge your solar array. There are many wavelengths of light you can’t see, that will still shine through cloud cover and power up your panels.
