Solar panels perform best in cold sunlight, not hot summer days

Solar cells are rated at 25°C (77°F) under standardized test conditions, but that figure doesn't represent an outdoor sweet spot for peak output. In practice, panels become less efficient as temperatures rise because voltage drops faster than current increases with heat, meaning cooler conditions technically yield higher efficiency.
