 +Even the altitude and type of clouds can affect harvest:

 +> in addition to total sky cover, cloud type is a significant factor in determining the reduction in solar radiation. In particular high, thin cirriform clouds are significantly less effective in reducing solar radiation than are lower, thicker clouds.((https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/6835171))

-Some conditions can cause an effective magnification of solar power, the opposite of shade in a way.  This is usually caused by reflection of previously-uncaptured light onto the panels -- the panels are receiving both normal //direct// light and the additional //reflected// light at the same time. Since panels are rated at a lab standard 1000w/meter<sup>2</sup> , this multiplication of available light can cause the panels to make more than their rated power, and can cause Voc to rise beyond rated specs.  +{{ https://sky-lights.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2020-04-20-S4.jpg?150|https://sky-lights.org/2020/04/20/cloud-edge-effects-on-solar-arrays/}}
