☀️ Solar Loves Sun. Not Heat. ☀️

Here's something that surprises most people...

While this week's heatwave will bring plenty of sunshine, extreme temperatures can actually make solar panels less efficient.

Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, not heat. In fact, they're tested at around 25°C, and once temperatures climb above that, performance gradually starts to fall. During a UK heatwave, roof-mounted panels can reach temperatures of 60°C or more, reducing efficiency by up to 10-20%.

The takeaway? Solar panels love sunlight, but they don't necessarily love the heat.

As UK summers become warmer, good system design, ventilation and battery storage are becoming more important than ever for maximising performance and savings.

Another 5-Star Review for Dwellow 🌟

We love hearing feedback like this, especially from homeowners who took time to compare multiple solar installers before choosing us, including Octopus Energy.

However, Dwellow came out on top because of our competitive quote, expert technical advice and trust in the team which made the difference.

And to be recommended to the neighbours? That's high praise indeed!

☀️ How long do solar panels take to pay for themselves?

If you've been toying with the idea of solar panels, it's probably a question you're very keen to know the answer too.

As usual with renewables, the answer is not entirely straightforward. But we've done our level best to explain it in our handy blog-post. The short answer? About 10 - 12 years for most homeowners.

☀️ Heatwaves and solar panels: how hot is too hot? ☀️

With temperatures hitting 35C across the UK this week, you might be wondering how the panels on your roof are coping with the heat. Are they relishing the hot weather or is it too warm for them to work properly? The answer is... a bit of both!

While very high panel temperatures can cause a small drop in efficiency, solar systems continue generating large amounts of electricity thanks to the lovely long daylight hours and strong sunshine we’re seeing right now.

Most solar panels are tested at around 25°C, and performance can reduce slightly (10-20%) as panel temperatures rise above this point.

But solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, not heat, which means bright days still deliver excellent performance overall 👍🌞
