Yet this solar power revolution has not taken place, with figures from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy highlighting that, in 2014, solar power contributed just 4TWh to the country''s energy mix, compared to the 1,136TWh contribution of gas and a vast contribution of 1,923TWh by oil.
Not too hot, not too cold. What''s ''just right'' for solar PV?
While sunny warm days seem to be best for solar energy generation, silicon PV panels can become slightly less efficient as their temperature rises. This is due to a property of the silicon semiconductor, which means that these class of Solar PV panels have a ''negative coefficient of temperature'': this means they produce less energy when …
