Thermal and other tests of photovoltaic modules performed in natural sunlight
Description:
The electrical power output of photovoltaic solar cell modules is dependent upon the operating temperature of the cells, and decreases at a rate of approximately 0.5% per /sup 0/C with increasing cell temperature. Because of this temperature sensitivity, it is important to understand the thermal characteristics of modules so that modules and their supporting structures can be designed to reduce cell temperature to the extent that it is cost-effective. Thermal testing of photovoltaic modules is …
