Abstract

This study analyses the thermal conductivity and heat radiation characteristics of different solar panel technologies (conventional silicon, PERC, and PERC + UV foil) in a simulation environment. We examined internal temperature rise, heat losses, and heat radiation reduction strategies, considering the climatic conditions of Miskolc. Simulations indicate that conventional silicon panels experience greater temperature increases and degradation over time. The PERC technology reduces heat losses through infrared reflection, while the PERC + UV foil technology ensures the best temperature stability and minimal energy losses. The findings confirm that UV-protected technologies provide longer lifespan and greater efficiency stability, particularly in hot climates.
