Solar glass heats up severely

What happens when solar radiation hits a glass surface?

When solar radiation strikes a glass surface, some of it is transmitted, some of it is absorbed and some of it is reflected. The absorbed component increases the temperature of the glass and the heat is slowly conducted (released) to the outside and inside depending on the difference in temperature.

What happens if you heat glass unevenly?

Back to the last thing- if you have a high temperature gradient, the material can expand unevenly, causing stresses in the material which can cause it to break if those stresses are strong enough. So if you heat glass unevenly, perhaps with a high power laser on one side, you can make it shatter.

How does temperature affect solar panel efficiency?

At coldness below 15°C the batteries can perform even better as lower temperatures reduce the internal resistance of the materials The solar panel efficiency vs. temperature graph illustrates how high temperatures (depending on how hot the panels get) reduce the efficiency of solar panels.

Do solar panels get hot?

It seems logical to suggest that the more sun there is, the more energy the modules produce. In reality, high solar panel temperatures can reduce the efficiency of PV systems, and in some cases, the heat can severely damage your solar panels. Many aspects affect exactly how your PV systems perform, and heat is one of them.
