Assessment of the Operating Temperature of Crystalline PV Modules Based on Real Use Conditions

Determining the operating temperature Tc of photovoltaic panels PV is important in evaluating the actual performance of these systems. In the literature, different correlations exist, in either explicit or implicit forms, which often do not account for the electrical behaviour of panels; in this way...
