In this work, five different models reported in the literature for estimating the PV module temperature were compared and evaluated. Seven cases have been proposed; the latter differ with respect to the nature of input parameter data of solar radiation and ambient temperature (i.e., measured or estimated).
Battery energy storage is the important component in the off-grid solar PV system. Due to load and PV output variations, battery energy storage is going to have frequent charging and discharging. So the type of battery used in a PV system is not the same as in an automobile application.
In , the authors indicate that increasing the PV cell temperature by 10 °C results in a 4% energy loss. For this reason, accurate knowledge of the photovoltaic cell temperature is essential for the correct prediction of the energy produced . In the literature, different models have been suggested for predicting PV cell temperature.
The temperature of a PV module follows from its heat balance. As a linear approximation and neglecting the thermal capacitance of the module, the heat dissipated to the environment is proportional to the solar radiation received by the module. Moreover, the heat dissipated is proportional to the difference between module and ambient temperature.
In fact, predicting the energy produced by any photovoltaic system (regardless of the location and the mode of installation) requires knowledge of some parameter values, such as solar radiation, ambient temperature, module temperature, wind speed, physical properties of the various elements forming the PV module, etc. , .
In this section, design of various off-grid solar PV systems for lighting and livelihood generation activities will be described along with few examples of actual implementation of such systems. Traditionally, solar lighting was provided through stand-alone individual systems such as solar lantern, Solar Home lighting System (SHS).
In general, a stand-alone solar PV system for off-grid applications majorly consists of (a) solar PV modules, (b) solar charge controller, (c) inverter, (d) storage batteries, (e) load and (f) other accessories such as cables, connectors, etc. Possible components, which are needed to consider in PV system design process, are given in Fig. 4.
In this work, five different models reported in the literature for estimating the PV module temperature were compared and evaluated. Seven cases have been proposed; the latter differ with respect to the nature of input parameter data of solar radiation and ambient temperature (i.e., measured or estimated).
Solar PV energy can be used mainly in standalone (off-grid) and grid connected system. A stand alone solar PV cannot provide a continuous supply of energy due to seasonal and periodic variations.

According to the Off grid solar system working principle, the off-grid solar system is not connected to the power grid; instead, the energy produced by the sun''s rays during the day is stored in batteries. This approach is effective for residences that do not have access to the grid''s electricity and are thus entirely self-sufficient. The power stored in the batteries is used …
