Table 2 Factors affecting solar cell efficiency

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

Factor

Impact on efficiency

Temperature

Higher temperatures reduce efficiency

Solar Irradiance

Greater sunlight intensity leads to higher efficiency

Angle of Incidence

Optimal angles maximize efficiency

Dust and Dirt Accumulation

Reduces efficiency by blocking sunlight

Shading

Partial shading decreases efficiency
