When evaluating solar panel brands based on their temperature coefficient, which measures how much a panel’s efficiency decreases with rising temperatures, the following brands are known for having some of the lowest temperature coefficients:
- Panasonic Solar Panels: Panasonic’s solar panels are renowned for their low temperature coefficient, typically at -0.26% per degree Celsius for all their series, making them highly efficient in various temperature conditions.
- LG Solar Panels: Although specific values are not always cited, LG Solar panels are noted for their low temperature coefficients, similar to Panasonic, making them a top choice for maintaining efficiency across temperatures.
- Jinko Solar Panels: While not typically highlighted for the lowest temperature coefficients, Jinko Solar panels have temperature coefficients around -0.29%, which is competitive, though not as low as some other brands.
- N-type Solar Panels: Generally, N-type solar panels have lower temperature coefficients compared to P-type panels, though specific brand values may vary. Their design includes reduced light-induced degradation and higher efficiency rates.
When selecting solar panels, considering the temperature coefficient is crucial for optimizing energy production, especially in warmer climates. Brands like Solaria and Mission Solar also offer competitive temperature coefficients, with values around -0.39% and -0.35%, respectively.
