Light reflected from the front surface of the module does not contribute to the electrical power generated. Such light is considered an electrical loss mechanism which needs to be minimized. Neither does reflected light contribute to heating of the PV module. The maximum temperature rise of the module is therefore.

Hardly 5–20% of the sun rays entering the surface of Solar cell is transformed into electrical power [8, 9]. While the remaining radiation is either transmitted backwards or absorbed in the form of heat by the cell. The absorbed heat raises its temperature up to 70 °C.

As solar cells operate, they invariably generate heat. This heat can originate from multiple sources, including the absorbed sunlight, resistive losses in the cell's electrical contacts, and even environmental factors.
Classification of cooling techniques Scientists are working on cooling systems for reducing solar cell operating temperatures, which are known as active and passive cooling systems. The appropriate cooling of the P.V. array tends to reduce the loss of output and increases the reliability of the P.V. module.
The strength of this approach lies in its simplicity: All one needs to know is the solar cell’s bandgap, and the efficiency emerges from a detailed balance equation of the electron-hole pair generation and depletion rates at a given temperature.
This increase is associated with the absorbed sunlight that is converted into heat, resulting in reduced power output, energy efficiency, performance and life of the panel. The use of cooling techniques can offer a potential solution to avoid excessive heating of P.V. panels and to reduce cell temperature.
Thermal effects in the context of solar cells refer to the changes in their electrical and optical properties due to variations in temperature. As solar cells operate, they invariably generate heat.
However, it has a major role to play in P.V. generation. When the wind flows, basically, the temperature of solar cell drops . The wind cools the solar panels resulting in producing less vibration of the electrons so the electrons can carry more energy while moving to the upper state. Solar P.V. cooled by 1 °C are 0.05% more effective. 3.
