Analysis of the causes of high temperature of photovoltaic panels
(2022) addressed the photovoltaic heat island effect, revealing that larger solar power plants increase local temperatures, challenging theoretical models and raising concerns for large-scale installations (Sun et al. . However, the efficiency and longevity of solar cells, the cornerstone of harnessing this abundant energy source, are intrinsically linked to their operating temperatures. When the temperature of photovoltaic modules (PVM) increases during operation, it leads to a decline in the output, a significant concern. . Although July and August bring the most intense solar irradiation, high temperatures often cause plant output to fall short of that in spring or early summer, as rising temperatures significantly reduce module efficiency and make it difficult for the system to maintain optimal performance. . High temperatures make solar panels work less well, especially in hot places. Solar modules like PERC, TOPCon, IBC, and HJT lose efficiency when it gets hot.
