It's been incorrectly claimed that coal power had to be restarted because solar panels couldn't work in the heat.
: "The UK has had to start coal fired generators during this heatwave because the sun is too strong and solar panels have had to be taken offline."While it's correct that solar panels are less efficient at hot temperatures, this reduction is relatively small, and was not the main reason for firing up coal power stations.
We spoke to Mr Wilson, who confirmed that the article he had read said that there was a "severe" fall in output, not that the panels had to be taken offline., solar panel performance falls by 0.34 percentage points for every degree that the temperature rises above 25C. It also said that the longer days and clearer skies mean solar power generates much more electricity during the summer, even if the efficiency falls.
