Table 12 Climate and weather conditions impacting solar cell temperature
From: Examining the influence of thermal effects on solar cells: a comprehensive review
Factors | Considerations |
|---|---|
Temperature Extremes | Solar cells in extreme conditions (hot deserts or cold climates) may experience efficiency variations (Osma-Pinto & Ordóñez-Plata, 2019) |
Seasonal Variations | Winter cold can reduce efficiency in cold climates, while summer heat can lead to thermal losses (Salamah et al., 2022 ) |
Cloud Cover | Reduced sunlight during cloudy conditions affects both cell temperature and electricity generation efficiency (Weaver et al., 2022) |
