If i placed my solar power lights in my greenhouse throughout the day, will it carge the batteries up better? due to the heat?
Answers
Monocrystall ine silicon solar cells produce a voltage when visible light and infrared light (above a critical frequency) are absorbed. Your batteries will be charged more efficiently outside as it is much cooler. The infrared radiation from a hot greenhouse is far too low in energy to produce a voltage from a solar cell, it must come directly from the Sun.
