EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM
To get the most out of your solar energy system, it is best to be aware of some of the factors that limit its maximum potential. Some factors can already be checked and avoided in the planning phase or at the beginning of the PV installation. However, some are completely inevitable. Planning ahead and addressing some of these concerns to your solar provider will help you find significant solutions that can save you from future headaches and help you in the long run.

Shading in solar panels can lead to enormous energy failures. This can be properly avoided if we ensure that the solar modules are free from roof obstructions or shading. If the cause of the shading is inevitable, such as nearby buildings, engineers can relocate your solar panels or ask you to remove the object causing the shading, such as branches or trees.
Hot temperatures
The proximity to the equator means that we are blessed with abundant solar energy, but at the same time we experience very hot weather, especially in the midsummer months. Hot temperatures are not good for your solar system as they can cause heat loss. Remember that the solar panels harvest sunlight, not heat. All solar modules can experience a temporary drop in efficiency at higher temperatures, but monocrystalline solar modules are more efficient and are less affected by heat than polycrystalline solar modules.
Cloudy and rainy weather
Not every day is a sunny day, and while there is no snow in the Philippines, rainy days and cloudy weather can severely affect your plant’s harvest for its entire duration. This is another factor where monocrystalline solar panels become a huge asset as they perform even better in low light conditions compared to their counterparts. Even when the sky is cloudy, light will still bounce off and reflect off your solar panels.
