Short answer is yes - approximately to the degree it reduces the rate of fuel (solar energy) input/availability to the device producing power. -

When you live where i do algae does cause problems. It would cover the whole panel if I didnt regularly clean them.
With an average annual rainfall exceeding 4,000 millimetres (160 in), and the highest ever annual rainfall in a populated area of Australia (7,900 millimetres (310 in) in 1950)Comment

Most definitely ! Stick around. If you don't have one after reading a few hundred posts around here, you'll acquire one. If not, you either don't have a heart or don't have a brain.
Besides,that's an inappropriate question. Humor is a good morale builder around here, but the literary beatings are used to maintain that morale.Comment
