Solar panel temperature loss calculator

Enter cell temperature, not air temperature, and the panel's power temperature coefficient. The estimate holds sunlight constant and only models the temperature effect.

What is this tool used for?

Enter cell temperature, not air temperature, and the panel's power temperature coefficient. The estimate holds sunlight constant and only models the temperature effect.

How this is calculated

P(T) = P25 × [1 + γ ÷ 100 × (Tcell − 25)]; P25 = Panel rating · W; Tcell = Cell temperature · °C; γ = Power temperature coefficient · %/°C
