Table 14 Impact of installation angle and orientation on solar cell temperature

From: Examining the influence of thermal effects on solar cells: a comprehensive review

Factors

Considerations

Tilt Angle

Adjusting panel tilt based on the sun's position can minimize solar cell temperature, particularly in hot climates (Atsu et al., 2020)

Orientation

The orientation of panels (north–south, east–west) affects the sunlight received and, consequently, solar cell temperature (Atsu et al., 2020)
