Solar panel efficiency refers to the portion of energy in the form of sunlight, which can be converted into electricity for by photovoltaic power through solar cells. It is widely use LiFePO4 Lithium Battery with solar energy. The average cell efficiency of a solar panel is between 15 and 22%. Efficiency levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The more efficient a solar panel is, the more solar energy it produces per square meter.
According to solar panel’s performance, the efficiency is affected by various factors, such as orientation, climate, energy conversion efficiency, etc. Now we will explains how these factors influence its efficiency. Beforehand, you’d better know a formula related to the solar panel production: Solar panel power x Conversion Efficiency x effective sunlight power= Daily production power.
Climate
As we can see, when the weather is sunny, the solar panel can absorb much power from the sun. While it is windy or rainy, it almost can’t produce power, making it impossible to help applications operate. That is because the temperature influences the efficiency due to the intrinsic characteristic of the semiconductor material. The efficiency of the solar panels increases when the temperature drops and decreases in high temperatures, as the voltage between the cells drops.
Orientation
The location of your solar panels is critical. There are many factors that can affect where to install, including the direction your roof faces (preferably south), whether there are trees or other buildings blocking portions of the roof, and the Angle of the roof. Keep in mind that solar panels work like Christmas lights, so shading is a key concern—if one panel fails, the whole string loses a lot of power. Some high quality solar panels attached angle bracket can flexibly adjust to fit the sun angle, which can better accept sunlight and improving power generation efficiency.
Energy Conversion Efficiency
A good solar panel can easily gain high Conversion of energy. As you can see, the power conversion formula showing that the conversion is directly affect the final result. Some good solar panel’s conversion can be as high as 22%, while poor one is just only produce 15%.
