> The good thing about the heat is when it’s the hottest, solar panels generate the most energy.

Incorrect. Peak PV efficiency occurs at relatively low temperatures.

Perhaps you mean "when it is hot, there tends to be lots of sunshine, and so there's lot of PV generation" ? That's true of some places (Southern CA, AZ, NV, NM) but less true of others (Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia etc).
