It's no secret that solar panels lose efficiency if they get too hot. The technology simply isn't there. Just look at a map of solar irradiance.

The struggle is real. Ambient temp efficiency vs. Irradiance density. Oddly, they tend to balance each other out at scale with irradiance density usually winning out.
