Solar panels are designed to withstand heat, snow, rain and wind. A new Australian study points out that their ability has limits, and they could quickly degrade as a result of climate change.

High temperatures put more pressure on solar panels and push them towards decomposition. As a result, solar farms will be able to produce less energy, and you may have to replace panels because they fail more often. The study recommends caution when choosing a new location for a solar farm to ensure that the modules have fewer chances of failure.
