In [2], the authors indicate that increasing the PV cell temperature by 10 °C results in a 4% energy loss. For this reason, accurate knowledge of the photovoltaic cell temperature is essential for the correct prediction of the energy produced [5]. In the literature, different models have been suggested for predicting PV cell temperature.

The most widely used temperature coefficient in performance studies of PV modules is the maximum power (P MAX) temperature coefficient, γ. This value is used to correct module power to the STC level and calculate the temperature corrected performance ratio.
The temperature coefficient of a solar cell is the amount by which its output voltage, current, or power changes due to a physical change in the ambient temperature conditions surrounding it, and before the array has begun to warm up.
Sunlight irradiates the photovoltaic cell by passing through the radiative cooler. As a demonstration of concept, we experimentally achieve passive radiative cooling to 5.1°C below the ambient air temperature under solar irradiance of ∼1,000 W/m 2, and photovoltaic power generation of up to 159.9 W/m 2, simultaneously and from the same area.
In PV system performance models, the change in temperature coefficients (TC) as a function of solar irradiance (G) is usually not calculated.Although the variation of the TC of open circuit voltage (V oc) with G is predicted by solar cell theory, most performance models do not account for this behavior.Equations describing the variation of TCs with G are not readily

This explains the generally observed linear behavior of the output power. For that reason, temperature sensitivities of solar cell are often described by a single value of temperature coefficient (TC). TCs are usually defined normalized at 25 °C [20] and expressed in ppm K −1: (10) β G (T c) = 10 6 G (298.15 K) G (T c) − G (298.15 K) T c − 298.15. Download: Download

Temperature coefficients are used to quantify the temperature dependence of various performance parameters of a photovoltaic (PV) cell, such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), maximum power (Pmax), and efficiency. These coefficients represent the rate of change of a particular parameter with respect to temperature.
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.
The absolute and normalized temperature coefficients are determined and compared with their values from the related literature. The variation of the absolute temperature coefficient function of the irradiance and its significance to accurately determine the important parameters of the photovoltaic cells are also presented.

Temperature coefficient of maximum power The most widely used temperature coefficient in performance studies of PV modules is the maximum power (P MAX) temperature coefficient, γ. This value is used to correct module power to the STC level and calculate the temperature corrected performance ratio.
By analyzing the FF dependency function of the temperature, it is observed that the FF temperature coefficient of the amorphous photovoltaic cell is the smallest and the FF temperature coefficient of the monocrystalline photovoltaic cell is the highest. This situation is the same for all illumination levels taken into consideration.
The actual value of the temperature coefficient, in particular, depends not only on the PV material but on T ref , as well. It is given by the ratio 1 ref oref TT (4) in which T o is the (high) temperature at , Garg and Agarwal . For crystalline silicon solar cells this temperature is 270 o C, Evans and Florschuetz .
