First is how much can get to the cells. Dirt can get in the way. Next is the ability of the panel to use the spectrum of light falling on it. Most panels now use just a small part of the red end of the spectrum. Newer panels will use the full spectrum of light including the Ultraviolet. The covering over the cells reflect light. New panels will have a coating that helps trap the light so it gets used. The amount of light effects how well the cells work. They have an optimum conversion rate. There are control systems made to make the cells work hard all day long despite the heat build up and varying light.
The amount of solar energy a solar panel absorbs is directly determined by the intensity of the sunlight.

A device on a building that absorbs radiant energy from the sun is what?
A device on a building that absorbs radiant energy from the sun is called a photovoltaic cell. It is also commonly known as a solar panel.
How does the solar panel affect people?
It affects them in a way that they are a bit less energy dependent.
How much amount of solar energy absorbed by a solar panel?
more than 2%
Solar energy depends on?
Naturally, sunlight is the primary source of solar energy. Sunlight is one type of radiation that has energy-carrying photons in it. Photovoltaic cells, commonly referred to as solar panels, use the photovoltaic effect to transform these photons into electrical energy. In addition to weather, location, time of day, and the existence of any obstructions that might hinder sunlight, these variables also affect how successful solar energy systems are.
