Affect solar panels? Did you mean power output from a solar panel?
The factors are well known and well researched. Assuming already installed pv panels, the electrical output will be affected by the radiation intensity received (thus weather, panel orientation, dust on panel, cloud cover and shading), temperature of each cell, parasitic resistance and cell age.
All identified factors, cloud cover, sun intensity, relative humidity, and heat buildup, have affected the solar power production efficiency of the three solar panel mountings. Sun intensity is directly related to the power production – as it increases, solar production increases as well.
Intensity of the sun radiation. That is frequency and duration.
The factors that affect solar panels are: Temperature,
Energy Conversion Efficiency, Solar Shadings, Climatic conditions,
the Orientation, Inclination, Latitude of the place .
The main factors are the following:
1- The type of solar panels; Fixed or mobile?
2- Solar panel efficiency.
3- Temperature and other climate and local conditions.
4- Shade, snow, and dust.
There are different factors that can affect the operation of a photovoltaic panel, we can see them as physical ones, such as the material with which it is manufactured, monocrystalline or polycrystalline, this affects the efficiency and cost, another factor is the type of polymer with which the cells are covered, this determines the life of the panel, the resistance to objects such as hail and the environment, another physical aspect that is very important is the frame, it is generally aluminum, but there are marks that the quality of the aluminum and its thickness is low, so it can deform and damage the panel. Electrically there are many factors that can affect the operation and the power they produce, firstly the welds that join wafer and wafer, so it is necessary that the panel supplier has accreditations and certifications that indicate the quality, in the same way the connection cables , connectors and couplings; When installing the panels, it is necessary to size the electrical system where they will be connected, that the circuits are balanced, that is, a well calculated system. Among the environmental factors, it is important to determine the available solar radiation, verify the climatology of the place, the humidity conditions and the environment where they are installed since they can affect and disconnect the system, verify the climate, on some occasions the hail has reached significant mass and points with which to damage the panel surface.
