What affects solar panel efficiency?

4 Answers

the tempature influences the efficiency of the photovolatic cell due to the intrinsic characteristic of the semiconductor material. the efficiency of the solar oanels increases when the tempature drops an decreases in high tempature, as the voltage between the cells drops.

Some factors affects the performance of solar panel and decreases its output while some factors improves the efficiency of solar cell and improves its performance. These factors includes temperature of solar panel, humidity, and wind velocity, light intensity, altitude and air pressure along with many other factors.

Cloud Covers: Cloudy atmosphere decreases the efficiency of solar panels by allowing less amount of sunlight to fall on solar panels. Heat Build-up: Solar panels can't efficiently work on higher temperatures.
