Solar panels deliver their maximum efficiency at 25 degrees Celsius, while after that the efficiency decreases by half a percent with every degree of temperature increase. This invalidates the generally …
In addition to generating solar energy, there are more ways to live sustainably. Especially now that the weather is getting colder, it is smart to think about this. One of those ways is insulation. Is that complicated? No, it is not! Insulation offers many advantages: you can save energy, live more comfortably and contribute to …
