How Solar Panels Work
Before diving into the efficiency of solar panels, it’s important to understand how solar panels convert solar power into electricity. Basically, each solar panel comprises multiple solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) cells. Semiconducting silicon layers in the cells produce an electrical current.
When sunlight hits the panels, the PV cells absorb the solar energy. The solar energy is absorbed into the electric current of the cells, and then converted from a direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC), becoming electricity that can be used within any home or business.
What Determines Solar Panel Efficiency in Layton?
Solar panel efficiency determines how much sunlight your solar panels can convert into energy for your home. On average, solar panels can convert around 15% to 22% of solar energy into electricity. So if a solar panel has 18% efficiency, the system is converting 18% of the sunshine hitting its solar cells into energy that can be used by the home or business it powers. We’ve listed a few key factors that help determine solar panel performance.
Installation
Proper installation of solar panels is essential for efficiency. It's important to consider climate conditions when determining solar panels' inclination, orientation, and latitude. That way, the system can receive the greatest amount of solar radiation possible for a long enough time to maximize energy production.
Design
The actual design of your home's solar panels is important because the material and wiring of a high–quality solar system can determine performance and longevity. Solar panels from SunPower by Custom Energy can hold up to 55% more energy than other system options, maximizing your home's system efficiency and savings.
Temperature
Temperature plays a significant role in solar panel efficiency. Although it may come as a surprise, low temperatures are ideal for maximum efficiency. Higher temperatures can decrease the voltage between solar cells, resulting in a lower performance rate and possibly damaging the cells over time.
Maintenance
While solar panels are designed to be durable, they require regular maintenance to ensure the system is functioning at its fullest capacity. Making frequent physical inspections can help solar panels absorb light effectively. At SunPower by Custom Energy, we continue to monitor your system's efficiency after installation. We're always available to assist with any maintenance problems that might occur over time.

I had a SunPower system (35 panels and 2 batteries) installed by Custom Electrical (Custom Energy). I found them knowledgeable and easy to work with from the project start to finish. The design and install crews did excellent work and took my concerns into account. Their work was completed on time and on budget. I would use them again in the future and I certainly recommend them.— Steve Kaylor

We contacted Custom Energy late in the fall hoping that our system could be installed before year end. They worked quickly with the design and permitting process and installation was completed in December. They did a very professional job and everything works like it is supposed to.— ROBERT FOLEY
