Solar panels are feeling the heat too: How heatwave temperatures are hampering solar power
The impact is not minimal. High temperatures can decrease the efficiency of solar panels by 10 to 25 per cent, according to data shared by CED Greentech.
For every degree Celsius more reported by a solar panel, its efficiency drops by 0.5 percentage points, according to Solar.com. [ link to uk.news.yahoo.com (secure)] Do search on solar panel roof fires too. Happening everywhere. A house burnt down not far from he. They put it down to "faulty solar panel wiring" in the heat. A huge solar farm just went up in smoke too destroying tens of 1000's of panels. They are warning people in the UK to park electric cars in the shade and not to charge the battery over 80% now too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79788051 not charging over 80 will extend those cells life by 10 years. but don't let anyone know this. Or prevent them from being destroyed in next to no time.
Urgent warning issued to electric car owners as temperatures soar - 'keep out the sun!' [ link to www.express.co.uk (secure)]
