  • Abstract
    South-African temperatures can exceed 40°C during summer months. Temperature degradation in photovoltaic panels plays a significant role in affecting the performance of these panels when viewed in the South-African context. Filtering some of the energy entering a photovoltaic panel by using optical filters can prove beneficial in enhancing the performance of PV systems.
