It's an unfortunate fact that the hotter it gets, the worse solar panels perform - but
some worse than others. Discover what Pmax

Still on technical issues, it seems many PERC solar panels have suffered from
Light and elevated Temperature Induced Degradation, or LeTID for short - but
don't panic.
More on these stories and other news below!
Don't forget you can get 3 solar quotes from trusted solar installers at our website - and everyone can also stay in touch with what's happening on SQ via our Facebook page.
