Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'
I’ve been thinking about getting solar for a while, how bad is the efficiency loss at -30C to -20C?
They gain efficiency at lower temps. Cool, clear days are best. At negative 20C you’re looking at ~15-20% increase in power output from the panel itself. Look for the “temperature coefficient” on a solar module spec sheet.
