The operating temperature plays a central role in the photovoltaic conversion process. Both the electrical efficiency and. hence. the power output of a PV module depend linearly on the operating temperature decreasing with Tc. The numerous correlations for Tc which have appeared in the literature apply to freely mounted PV …
