Solar and clouds 

How does the solar panels produce when there is no sun showing 

The sun is still shining even though it may be partially blocked the suns energy is still hitting the earth . Here is a simple example for the ones who fish . Does any one remember the day you went out on the lake to fish on a cloudy day get to your boat and because the sun was out didn't try to wear sun screen or anything. That night you probably looked like you had been laying out at the beach , this is similar to what is happening to the solar panels they just arent getting the full force of the sun . I have been a bit busy lately as it is getting into the busy season of my job haven't had a whole lot of time to post much . I decided to throw one out there with a few snapshots ordered a new camera holder and was digging around in the shop tonight and found it. So now will be adding a few aerial shots will try to learn how to upload videos so you can see in December the massive pine tree that blocks my panels after 3 pm. Well that about it I will throw one up on Sunday or Monday (my weekend .)
