Do solar lights require direct sunlight to work or is indirect light sufficient?

I want to install a solar street light, but it is always rainy or cloudy where I live. So I want to know if the solar street light will work if there is not sufficient sunlight.

Solar lights can still work even though there is no direct sunlight. Generally speaking, as long as there is light and battery panels, energy can be stored. But the efficiency of the battery panels in converting light energy into electrical energy is related to the light. The stronger the light, the higher the conversion rate. When the light is not that strong, the panel will still power the battery, but the conversion efficiency will be relatively low.
