Why pay thousands of dollars for solar energy ($27,000 average cost) when you can build your own solar panel system for just a fraction of the retail cost. You can build a single solar panel or you can build an entire array of panels to power your whole house.
Some people are saving 50% on their power bill, some people are reducing their bill to nothing. But what’s most impressive is that just by following these instructions some are even making the power company pay them!
Photovoltaic solar panels can work at high temperatures, but in really hot places thermal solar is even better. That is where a large number of mirrors direct sunlight onto a boiler on a tower to make steam to run a steam engine. Such power plants are already in use in hot places like the Mojave Desert of the southwest USA.
There are hybrid photovoltaic/thermal collectors where water is used to cool the photovoltaics and this preheated water are then used in a thermal solar collector. If the solar thermal collectors were at least evacuated tube collectors, the water could be heated enough to be used in an absorption chiller to provide air conditioning. Ideally, you would want the temperatures much higher than the boiling point of water for absorption cycle refrigeration which brings the dangers of a pressurized system but at close to boiling point of water, air conditioning is still possible albeit with the occasional boost from a burner.
Depends on the type of solar panel.
It will be very hard for the inner hardware of the panels, hopefully with technological advances problems like this will be solved. However water coolant systems would probably allow them to work.

Hi
I live in a country that has extremely hot weather, we were announced hottest capital in the world several times, more than 75% of the year the skies are clear with not a trace of clouds.
Even the the country is rich with oil, the temperature in summer easily reaches 127F (52C) in shade!
When solar power comes into the conversation everyone says that the weather is too hot for solar panels and they can't be used cause they won't work in temperatures above 110F.
Keep in mind that solar power panels will reach over 90 celcuis 190F
Will solar power work in these conditions?
