Iphaneli yasemuva idlala indima ebalulekile ekwakheni izindonga zamakhethini. Okokuqala, inikeza ukusekelwa, ukuhlinzeka ngesakhiwo esizinzile samapaneli odonga lwamakhethini, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ahlala eyisicaba futhi azinzile ngesikhathi sokufakwa nokusetshenziswa, nokuvimbela ukuguqulwa noma ukulimala kwamandla angaphandle. Isibonelo, ezindongeni ezinkulu zamakhethini engilazi, amaphaneli asekelayo angahlakaza amandla angaphandle njengemithwalo yomoya kumaphaneli engilazi, okwenza ingilazi iphephe futhi ithembeke kakhudlwana. Okwesibili, amaphaneli asekelayo ahlinzeka ngokufakwa kwe-thermal, ehlisa ngempumelelo ukudluliswa kokushisa phakathi kwezikhala zasendlini nezangaphandle futhi ehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kwesakhiwo. Avimba ukushisa kwelanga ukuba angangeni esakhiweni futhi, ebusika, avimbele ukulahlekelwa ukushisa, athuthukise ukusebenza kahle kwamandla esakhiwo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaphaneli asekelayo ahlinzeka ngokuvala umsindo nokunciphisa umsindo, avimbe umsindo wangaphandle ukuba ungangeni esakhiweni nokudala indawo enokuthula. Ekwakheni izindonga zamakhethini eduze kwemigwaqo yedolobha ephithizelayo, amaphaneli asekelayo anganciphisa kakhulu umthelela womsindo odalwa ithrafikhi nezinye izici. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaphaneli asekelayo athuthukisa ukumelana nomlilo kwekhethini. Amanye amaphaneli asekela umlilo enziwe{8}}ngezinto ezikwazi ukumelana nomlilo, ezingabambezela ukubhebhetheka komlilo uma kuba nomlilo, ukuthenga isikhathi sokuphuma kanye nemizamo yokuhlenga umlilo. Ekugcineni, ibhodi elisekelayo lisiza ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza okungangeni kwamanzi odongeni lwamakhethini. Ingavimbela amanzi emvula ukuthi angangeni ngaphakathi kodonga lwamakhethini, avikele isakhiwo sodonga lwamakhethini kanye nengaphakathi lesakhiwo ekugugulekeni kwamanzi.
