NAVA Solar's technology can operate in hot climates. While traditional Silicon-based solar panels show an output decrease of almost 40% at operating temperatures of over 40° C, NAVA's technology showed no performance loss even at 100° C.
NAVA Solar panels will also last much longer than conventional panels. While conventional panels experience operational degradation with an efficiency loss of at least 0.8% per year, NAVA Solar's technology actually experiences an efficiency increase of 0.5% per year. That means that after 30 years, the efficiency will increase by 15%, from 12% to over 13.8%.
