ABSTRACT: In this article, the effect of temperature on the
photovoltaic parameters of mono-crystalline silicon Photovoltaic Panel is
undertaken, using the Matlab environment with varying module temperature in the
range 25°C - 60°C at constant solar irradiations 200 - 500 W/m2. The results show that the
temperature has a significant impact on the various parameters of the
photovoltaic panel and it controls the quality and performance of the solar
panel. The photovoltaic parameters are the current
of short circuit Isc,
the open circuit voltage Vco,
the form factor FF, the maximum power Pmax as well as efficiency. The relative change of these photovoltaic parameters
with temperature is also evaluated in this article. A DS-100M solar panel has
been used as reference model. The results show also that the open circuit
voltage, maximum power, fill factor and efficiency decrease with temperature, but the short circuit
current increases with
temperature. The results are in good
agreement with the available literature.
