Once the ambient temperature reaches around 90 F. The efficiency of solar panels decreases. At 105 F it can be as much as a 25% or more decreasei would be worried if phoenix wasn't 115...should be good news for solar![]()

That's really important when one realizes that a solar cell is only 30%+ efficient under laboratory conditions, which makes it a loser generally and only becomes economically significant when the utility charges more than a car payment for a month's worth of electricity usage. Bring on the baby nuke reactors for $.07 a kilowatt hour instead of the $.33 rate I currently enjoy, then I wouldn't have to continually jump in the pool to stay cool.Once the ambient temperature reaches around 90 F.
