Anyone know the temperature coefficient? Do they go belly up in the heat?

I used this panel in 115+ deg AZ heat all summer and it performed perfectly with no sign of wear.

Sorry that I do not know how many watts are lost. I just typed 'temperature coefficient' into a search engine and it took me to several solar sites that provided formulas to compute the loss. My outside temperature this summer reached 102. My Ramsonds kept my batteries at full charge. I just mounted four to the roof this late summer. Have not had a chance to see the difference in the charge rate. The pole mount panels are on a different switch than the roof mount. Once again, sorry that I do not know the exact answer. Just increased my system to 14 panels.

It takes a lighting strike or a EM burst to harm the cell.temp.range up to +-200deg before 10% loss.

Heat is reasonable as long as you give them a little space to breathe. I don't find the noise to be an issue at all.

I really think they don't get much hotter than my other dishes. They are heavy and so beautiful and we enjoy them, I maybe crazy but I think the food tastes better,their beautiful. We want to purchase another set. Enjoy them!!!!

Yes, I live in Dominican Republic, and the average temperature is between 28 and 32 Celsius, and my lil boy feels very good, these are thin, breathable, yet very sturdy - I wash them every two days (already ordered more though, hahah) and they are still super soft and colors are same ;)

it all depends what you consider 'warm' ... living in the midwest and dealing with horses etc. etc. ... they hold up well down to about 10 degrees and no wind ... beyond that ... even with a silk liner glove and working ... NO ...

Sorry, I can't seem to find the information when I made the purchase. What I can say is that I've had them for 2 summers now. I do cover them with furniture plastic during the winter seasons in California. Our temperature range anywhere from 104 F to 23 F (summer & winters). So, far they appear to be holding up well. I'm very pleased with the esthetics and lightweight material. Good luck!

I've not had any problems at all. But I don't have them touching my home. they hang from my balcony railing. I love them. They don't get hot either.

well, the sun does not appear to be an issue; it gets to 100 degrees here pretty regularly but these are mesh so they dont really hold the heat; not a problem

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

I don't recall if I've used mine at that high of a temp. I have used them under the broiler (gas) for 10 mins or so and they were fine. They are pretty thick and heavy-gauge aluminum...not your typical cheap "big box store" specials. I've had several of those that after a few minutes at a high temp you can actually hear them "pop" when they buckle. I would think these would hold up well at high temps just like most all Calphalon does. Regardless, they have a warranty from Calphalon so if they buckle, send them back. :)

No they dont, and I do not recommend this grill, I got one and returned it. The temperature never passed 325 degrees , steaming instead of searing the meats. Hope this helps.

Yes they get warm to hot the higher the temperature! Had them for a few years never any problems.

They are slightly warm, when it is 90 degrees, they are too warm to wear, when it is zero they do not do much good. I think the sweet spot is between 45 and 65 degrees.

I think that they warm up fairly quickly and get hot enough that I turn them down. Their size is better than other ones that I have had in the past too.

I don't actually own these, but from the description: "Oven safe to 400-degrees F. " I'm only including this information in case others are reading this as I did...

If they're raw in the middle at 375 why not turn the heat up a bit and make these at 425 :)

No, they go to one temperature. They get pretty hot after just a few minutes so if you just want them warm, I'd say leave them in for about one-two minutes. Hope that helps!
