dirty solar panels, warm weather, lower power output?

Its really interesting seeing what a difference things like temperature and dirt affect output...
I always thought why don't they use solar more in hotter countries but you can see how power would be reduced in hot dusty climates, still better than no panels though! 
For once the british climate seems good for something 😆

I recall a yacht magazine doing testing of panels for boats, and the results for the same installation in Spanish and UK waters. They experienced the same reductions due to heat though I've no recall of the details.
