- itishappy 4y agoThey also loose efficiency with heat, about 0.5%/°C, so cheap panels can be 25% less efficient.
- ncmncm 4y agoThey gather dust, which can cut output 50%. That is on top of the heat induced loss of conversion efficiency, and reduced panel life. And, yes, you need to build transmission lines. They go better in pastures and floating on canals and reservoirs.
