Yes, there are specific solar panel brands that offer better temperature coefficients, which indicates how efficiently a solar panel performs as the temperature increases. Here are some notable brands and technologies with favorable temperature coefficients:
- Panasonic: Their Evervolt solar panels have one of the best temperature coefficients on the market, at -0.24% per degree Celsius, making them ideal for warm climates.
- Maxeon: Known for their high efficiency and performance in various conditions. While exact temperature coefficients are not specified in the latest reviews, they are often praised for their overall quality and efficiency.
- REC: Offers solid temperature coefficients and is favored for its balance of performance and affordability. REC Alpha Pure panels have a competitive temperature coefficient, though not as low as Panasonic’s.
- Heterojunction (HJT) Technology: This advanced technology provides some of the lowest temperature coefficients available, often around -0.25% to -0.27% per degree Celsius, making it highly efficient in hot conditions.
These brands and technologies are beneficial for maximizing energy production, especially in warmer climates where higher temperatures can significantly affect solar panel efficiency.
