Experimental Investigation of Temperature Effect on PV Monocrystalline Module

Heba Ahmed Mosalam

Abstract


The importance of the module’s temperature has been severally discussed in previous reviews. What is of concern to us is the percentage of the power loss with each increase in unit temperature. The experiment illustrated in this research has allowed the monitoring of the variants in the power produced during the two months of August and December. The parameters of module temperature and solar irradiation have been monitored, and the maximum output voltage and the power produced were recorded. The drop in power was usually a result of increase in temperature but on a different scale, which draws attention to other parameters that may affect the percentage of drop in power. The system was simulated using the tool of MATLAB using the module data sheet, and the difference in power produced was noted. The objective of this research is to improve the simulation tools in order to be more accurate in increasing the number of parameters that may contribute to the power produced from the cells.
