Technical FAQs 4

Are solar panels hot?

Most solar panels have a rated “solar panel max temperature” of 185 degrees Fahrenheit - which seems intense. However, solar panels are hotter than the air around them because they are absorbing the sun’s heat, and because they are built to be tough, high temperatures will not degrade them. Are solar panels hot to the touch?

Why do solar panels get hot?

When solar panels get hot, the operating cell temperature is what increases and reduces the ability for panels to generate electricity. Because the panels are a dark color, they are hotter than the external temperature because dark colors, like black, absorb more heat.

Why are solar panels hotter than external temperature?

Because the panels are a dark color, they are hotter than the external temperature because dark colors, like black, absorb more heat. For example, the ambient temperature in the desert can reach 113 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning solar panels in this climate can reach 149 degrees Fahrenheit.

How hot do solar panels get?

Manufacturers rate solar panels under Standard Test Conditions (STC), which include: In real-world conditions, solar panels typically operate 20-40°C above ambient air temperature, meaning a 30°C (86°F) day can result in panel temperatures reaching 50-70°C (122-158°F).
