Discuss Solar Thermal Performance During Winter Months? Solar Thermal Forum in the Solar Thermal Advice Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Don't know from experience but know I have read where the colder winter months are actually a benefit, all other conditions equal to a warmer locale, because the efficiency of the panels goes down and thus output when temperature rises on the surfaces. I am sure there probably is an ideal temp vs available sunshine threshold but basically the extra sunshine logically would increase the ambient temperature surrounding the panels, which in a warm climate are already likely at a temperature where they are adversely effected for efficiency. Colder not so much and though the angle of sun detracts on available light energy striking the surface, it might be sufficient.
