Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) modules output changes noticeable with variations in temperature and irradiance. In general it is has been shown that a $1^{\circ}C$ increase in temperature results in a 0.5% drop in output. In this paper, seven PV module types are analyzed for variation in temperature and irradiance, and the resulting output characteristics examined. The 7 modules types utilized are as follows; 3 poly crystalline modules, 2 single crystalline modules, 1 back contact single crystalline module and 1 HIT module. 3 groups of experiments are then conducted on the modules; tests with varying irradiance values, tests with module temperature varying under $25^{\circ}C$ and tests with module temperature varying over $25^{\circ}C$. The experiments results show that as temperature rises the follow is observed; Pmax decreases by 0.6%, Voc decreases by about 0.4%, and Isc increasing by between 0.03%${\sim}$0.08%. In addition, an irradiance decrease of 100 w/m2 translates into a 10% drop in Pmax.
