Abstract
The photovoltaic modules are affected by heat. The hotter the PV module, the lower the power output, then the life time will be short. If the cell temperature rises above a certain limit the encapsulating materials can be damaged, and this will degrade the performance of the PV module. This paper presents that the PV module temperature can be estimated by using thermal analysis programs, and demonstrates the thermal characteristics of the PV module.
