Efficiency: Low light solar panels are not as efficient as traditional solar panels in direct sunlight. While they can generate electricity in low light conditions, their efficiency drops significantly compared to direct sunlight. This means that more panels are required to generate the same amount of electricity as traditional solar panels.
