Installation of such a system requires a significant area of roof space to accommodate the solar panels and entails substantial savings in electricity bills. Therefore, if you have a spacious roof area and want to reduce your electricity expenses, a 10kW solar power system might be the optimal solution for you.

How Does Heat Affect Solar Power Systems

As the summer season approaches, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming increasingly popular. Although longer, sunnier days can lead to increased electricity generation by solar systems, hot temperatures can negatively impact the performance of solar panels. In some cases, it can result in a reduction of up to 20% in energy output.
