Introduction The important role of the operating temperature in relation to the electrical efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) device, be it a simple module, a PV/thermal collector or a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) array, is well established and documented, as can be seen from the attention it has received by the scientific community.
The mobility of carriers decreases with the increase of temperature, which leads to the deterioration of the output performance in the SC and the decrease of the photoelectric conversion efficiency (η).
This study reports the influence of the temperature and the irradiance on the important parameters of four commercial photovoltaic cell types: monocrystalline silicon—mSi, polycrystalline silicon—pSi, amorphous silicon—aSi, and multijunction InGaP/InGaAs/Ge (Emcore).
The temperature of the photovoltaic cell and the irradiance are measured simultaneously with the I-V characteristics. The accuracy of the temperature measurement is ±0.5°C, and the accuracy of the irradiance is ±3 W/m 2.
Considering from the perspective of light, the increase in temperature is beneficial to PV power generation, because it will increase the free electron–hole pairs (i.e., carriers) generated by the PV effect in the cell to a certain extent . However, excessively high temperature cannot increase the final output of the SC.
