Heatwaves are increasingly impacting solar photovoltaic (PV) performance, leading to efficiency losses due to elevated temperatures. While hotter weather seems beneficial for solar energy generation, it actually decreases electrical efficiency as temperatures exceed optimal conditions. Solutions such as advanced module technology, improved maintenance practices, and energy storage integration are essential to mitigate these effects.
