Why are solar panels painted black?

SUNWORLD Black Solar Panels

Solar panels are painted black to maximise the efficency of the panel. Matt black surfaces are the best absorbers of radiation so the panel has more solar energy to convert into electrical energy

Secondly , if painted white. This makes them less efficent because white shiny surfaces reflect heat (in this case they will be reflected back to the centre section of the radiator). 

But black solar panels surfaces are  also the best emitters so more heat can be circulated by convection inside the modules,that will decrease the solar panels efficiency .

so different region ,diffient choices according to the local weather condition .
