The number one (often forgotten) rule of solar electricity is that solar panels generate electricity with light from the sun, not heat. While temperature won''t change how much energy a solar panel absorbs from the sun, it actually can change how much of that energy is converted into electricity. If a solar panel is extremely hot or extremely
