Solar panels might dip in production during storms, but wind can pick up the slack! Battery storage helps too. The key is a diverse renewable energy mix for better overall reliability.

Renewable energy can be a bit less reliable in bad weather, like during storms or heavy clouds, but advancements are improving it. For instance, solar panels can still capture some light even on cloudy days, and wind turbines can harness gusts even in tricky conditions. 🌬️☀️ Plus, energy storage solutions are getting better, so we can still count on renewable sources even when the weather isn’t ideal.
