The results of this study conducted on installations in Cameroon are in agreement with the results of the work of Rahnama et al. on the concepts of exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental solar time-space maps for photovoltaic systems developed in the Iraqi context although located in quite different latitudes .

With an increase of ambient temperature, the temperature rise of solar cells is reduced. The characteristics of panel temperature in realistic scenarios were analyzed. In steady weather conditions, the thermal response time of a solar cell with a Si thickness of 100–500 μm is around 50–250 s.
Effects of solar irradiance, wind speed and ambient temperature on the PV panel temperature were studied. The parametric study shows significant influence of solar irradiance and wind speed on the PV panel temperature. With an increase of ambient temperature, the temperature rise of solar cells is reduced.
The developed realistic model captures more reasonably the thermal response and hysteresis effects. The predicted panel temperature is as high as 60 °C under a solar irradiance of 1000 W/m 2 in no-wind weather. In realistic scenarios, the thermal response normally takes 50–250 s.
With an increase in the PV panel temperature, the band gap of the silicon layer is reduced. As a result, the intrinsic carrier concentration of the semiconductor material increases, leading to an increase in the dark saturation current. However, the photoelectric efficiency of the solar cells is reduced due to the heating effect.
