According to the manufacturing standards, 25 °C or 77 °F temperature indicates the peak of the optimum temperature range of photovoltaic solar panels. It is when solar photovoltaic cells are able to absorb sunlight with maximum efficiency and when we can expect them to perform the best.
Typically, the output voltage decreases as the temperature rises. On average, for every degree Celsius above 25°C (77°F), the voltage decreases by around 0.3% to 0.5%. This reduction in voltage results in a decrease in power output. The temperature coefficient of power reflects how the power output of a solar panel changes with temperature.
When sunlight strikes a solar panel, it generates direct current (DC) electricity through the photovoltaic (PV) effect. However, solar cells are sensitive to temperature changes, and this sensitivity is primarily attributed to two key factors: the temperature coefficient of voltage and the temperature coefficient of power.
The operating temperature plays a key role in the photovoltaic conversion process. Both the electrical efficiency and the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) module depend linearly on the operating temperature.
The test temperature represents the average temperature during the solar peak hours of the spring and autumn in the continental United States . According to the manufacturing standards, 25 °C or 77 °F temperature indicates the peak of the optimum temperature range of photovoltaic solar panels.
It usually ranges from -0.2%/°C to -0.5%/°C. Therefore, it can be concluded that for every one degree Celsius rise and increase in the temperature, the solar system efficiency reduces between 0.2% to 0.5% as well. Several things can be done to mitigate the effects of temperature on solar panel efficiency, including:
