Solar panels can overheat due to several reasons. One primary factor is their exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during peak sun hours. This speeds up deterioration and lowers energy output. To get the most from solar energy, we need to understand why. . Photovoltaic solar systems convert direct sunlight into electricity. 'The optimal operating temperature for a solar panel is below 25 °C.
