Many people think that higher temperatures on the solar panels make them produce more electricity. Is this true, or is it yet another Solar Energy myth? If you ask anyone – who is relatively new or has no idea yet – about the effects of heat on solar panels, then you will be told 2 …

A group of researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology created perovskite solar panels that maintained high efficiencies for over 1000 hours. The dimensions of the modules were 5×5 sq. cm. and 10×10 sq.cm., sizes which are much larger than the ones traditionally made in laboratories (1.5×1.5 sq. cm.). Although these solar panels …

What will happen to the solar panels during an eclipse? In this article, we will see how solar power systems are affected when the moon’s shadow passes by the solar panels. This will show you how solar eclipse affects the production of solar energy. A solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the shadow of …
To calculate the solar panel efficiency, you need to divide the Wattage per unit area (Pmax/total area in sq.m.) of the solar module by the STC Irradiance value (1000W/sq.m.). This is the simplest way to get any solar PV module’s efficiency. Solar Panel Efficiency Formula Efficiency (%) = (Pmax ÷ Area) ÷ (1000) x 100% where, …
