Trivia: Solar energy works better in low temperature environments!

One term you may come across is the temperature coefficient of maximum power (Pmax). It tells you how much power the panel will lose (due to voltage reduction) when the temperature is 1°C higher than 25°C (which is the standard test condition). However, if the temperature is below 25°C, the calculation will be reversed for every 1°C below 25°C because the power gain is higher (due to the voltage increase) compared to standard test conditions.

Solar PV loves cooler weather. During cold winter months, it can produce a higher voltage than the voltage rated on the panel. Therefore, it's important to know the coldest temperatures in your area and adjust your potential accordingly. You may want an inverter that can handle the higher voltage and power to prevent it from being overloaded during the winter months due to the increased voltage production from solar PV in cold winter climates. Although panels can be very efficient and produce more power than in the summer, the shorter hours of sunlight in the winter balance out the benefits, giving them the least amount of time to charge when the days are short and the nights are long.

Somewhat ironically, while we want more sunlight to shine on our solar photovoltaic cells, the sunlight also brings unnecessary infrared heat, which heats the panels and reduces their efficiency. On a hot sunny day approaching 45 degrees Celsius, solar photovoltaic panels may become 10% less efficient.
