Solar Panel Operating Temperature: Complete Guide 2025
The ideal solar panel operating temperature remains 25°C (77°F) under Standard Test Conditions. However, panels maintain excellent efficiency between 15-35°C (59-95°F).
How Temperature Affects Your Solar Panel Output (With Performance
Most solar panels have a negative temperature coefficient, typically ranging from -0.2% to -0.5% per degree Celsius. This means that for every degree the temperature increases above 25°C,
