In real-world conditions, solar panels typically operate 20-40°C above ambient air temperature, meaning a 30°C (86°F) day can result in panel temperatures reaching 50-70°C (122-158°F). The optimal solar panel operating temperature is 25°C (77°F) under standard test conditions.
On an 80-degree day (3 degrees above ideal temperatures) solar panels would be 1.05% less efficient (.35 x 3 degrees). In this example, with a marginal efficiency loss of 1.05%, your solar panel would work at a power production efficiency of 98.95%. (Solar panels can become much warmer than ambient temperatures.)
At this temperature, panels can operate at their rated efficiency levels, typically converting 15-20% of sunlight into electricity. For every degree Celsius above the ideal temperature, solar panel efficiency typically decreases by 0.3-0.5%.
Yes, solar panels are temperature sensitive. Higher temperatures can negatively impact their performance and reduce their efficiency. As the temperature rises, the output voltage of solar panels decreases, leading to a decrease in power generation. What is the effect of temperature on electrical parameters of solar cells?
