Does the temperature of photovoltaic panels rise at night

A recent research showed that, photovoltaic solar panels use on roofs could raise temperatures during the daytime and lower them at nighttime. 30%/°C or better (like SunPower Maxeon 3 at -0. 27%/°C) can significantly outperform standard panels in consistently hot climates, potentially saving thousands in lost energy production over the. . While solar panels harness sunlight efficiently, their power output typically decreases by 0. 5% for every degree Celsius increase above optimal operating temperatures (25°C/77°F). [pdf]
