More heat beaming down on your roof actually starts to reduce the efficiency of the solution after a certain point. What accounts for this counter-intuitive result? The <em>energy<\/em> that comes from the sun\u2019s rays translates to power, but this energy is not necessarily equivalent to the amount of <em>heat<\/em> generated by sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>So what does this quirk of physics mean for you as a homeowner or landlord?<\/p>\n<p>If you look into <a title=\"Solar Tiles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.noutilitybill.com\/SolarSolutions.html\">solar solutions<\/a>, scan through the manufacturer\u2019s information for the <em>temperature coefficient<\/em>. This metric will tell you how much your energy production decreases when the panels heat up past a certain point. The opposite is also true, by the way. Cooler temperatures can allow certain solar technologies to absorb more of the sun\u2019s rays and increase the energy output.<\/p>\n<p>You can also look at the <em>efficiency rating<\/em>. This metric indicates the usable percentage of sunlight that the solar technology will absorb. This rating impacts the amount of space you will need to dedicate to a solar solution installation.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your <a title=\"Bay Area Solar Solutions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.noutilitybill.com\/motivations.html\">solar company<\/a> for advice on the best solar technology for your location. Whether you live in a warm environment where temperatures regularly rise or you\u2019re situated in a foggy, windy, shady spot near the Bay will impact the solutions that are appropriate for you as well as your ideal solar cell placement. For the maximum efficiency, you must match your solar solution for your geography and landscape.<\/p>\n<h2>Our East Bay Roofing Experts Know Solar!<\/h2>\n<p>Our team can help with these calculations, so you can maximize the value of a remodel or investment.
