There is all this disruption when we know that solar power is intermittent. I understand that these panels produce power only when the sun shines. I know that we have just had a wonderful summer, but solar panels produce less electricity when it is very hot because excessive heat reduces their efficiency with every degree over 25 degrees centigrade. As we all know, there can be precious few sunny days in the UK winter months. Therefore, electricity from solar panels cannot be guaranteed and back-up power and storage solutions need to be put in place, which can be costly.
