Solar panels become less efficient as temperatures rise
With heatwaves being reported worldwide, leading to wildfires and other environmental concerns, at least one energy sector is getting attention for its major producing potential - solar power.
But soaring temperatures may be hindering solar power production as solar panels work optimally at around 25oC and start becoming less efficient when the heat goes above this
This is not stopping rising consumer interest as people are driven to invest in solar technology as they see both hotter summers and rising consumer prices
Heat waves have encouraged public interest in solar technologies
As consumers face rapidly rising energy prices and see more sunny days, many are turning to renewable energies such as solar power as an alternative to help them save money and become more self-sufficient
While the heat waves being seen across the world may not be boosting solar production in the way many might have thought, they have encouraged widespread interest in the technology
