do the holes in the ozone layer affect how much energy solar panels receive?


The more sunlight that gets in the more power out of a solar panel. Less ozone more sunshine.

    probably not.
    solar panels use somewhat specific frequencies of incoming solar radiation.
    ozone blocks a somewhat higher frequency range of radiation.

    in addition, ozone holes occur at the poles, which is not where most people live.
    typically, it’s not economical to use a solar panel at that latitude because the year round energy available is not nearly enough to pay for the panel.
