Do photovoltaic solar panels work in cold weather conditions?
PV panels are actually at their most efficient in lower temperatures. Although it seems obvious,
it’s easy to forget that while we often associate the light from the sun with heat,
PV panels only generate electricity from light, not heat. PV technology is highly suitable
for cold weather environments, on the whole even generating more power at lower temperatures.
This is because they are electronic devices, and like all electronic devices operate more
efficiently at cooler temperatures.
