How Half-Cut N-Type Solar Panels Perform in Punjab’s Summer Heat

By SheikhX Engineering

The Thermal Derating Effect

Solar panels are rated at a cool 25°C in laboratories. When placed on a roof in Sargodha experiencing 45°C ambient heat, the dark silicon cells can easily reach 70°C. At this temperature, older P-Type panels lose massive amounts of efficiency.

The N-Type Superiority

N-Type cells have a significantly lower Temperature Coefficient. This means they suffer far less power loss in extreme heat. Furthermore, Half-Cut technology ensures that if the bottom half of the panel is shaded by a passing cloud or parapet wall, the top half continues to produce power at 100%. If you live in Punjab, you must insist on N-Type architecture.
