The hotter the weather doesn’t mean the more photovoltaic power you generate.🌞🔋
The amount of photovoltaic power generated depends mainly on the intensity of solar radiation received. Under sunny, less cloudy weather conditions, the amount of PV power generated may be relatively high, regardless of whether the weather is hot or not. In cloudy or overcast weather conditions, on the other hand, the amount of PV power generated may be lower, even if the weather is hot.
For example💡✨
If the weather is hot but the sky is covered with clouds, the solar radiation received by the PV panels will be greatly reduced, thus affecting the amount of electricity generated. On the contrary, if the weather is not too hot but the sun is shining and the cloud cover is thin, then the solar radiation received by the PV panel may be very strong and thus the amount of electricity generated will be large.
Optimal operating temperature of solar panels😄
It’s not true that the higher the temperature, the more power the solar panels generate.
Generally speaking, the power generation efficiency of solar panels can only be high when the temperature is below 25℃.
For every 1 degree increase in temperature, the peak power of PV panels decreases by 0.29%, so it is not true that the higher the temperature, the better the power generation.
Why does solar panel generate more electricity in summer than in winter?🤔
The high power generation in summer is mainly due to the long light hours during the day, longer power generation hours, starting power generation at 4:00 am and still generating power at 7:00 pm. Based on the peak power alone, it is easy to reach the highest peak power in May and September.
