TI  - Experimental Investigation of Module Temperature Effect on Photovoltaic Panels Efficiency
AB  - A Photovoltaic module efficiency is mainly depend on the ambient temperature, module temperature, incoming solar radiationintensity and photovoltaic material composition. In the present work, the effect of module temperature on the photovoltaic (PV)panel efficiency was investigated experimentally. Incoming solar radiation on the PV surface (I), ambient temperature of the panel(Ta), back surface temperature of the panel (Tp), voltage and current are the main parameters measured during the experiments. Inthe experimental system the area that PV module placed have been adjusted four different ambient air temperature as 10, 20, 30and 40 °C. PV module efficiencies are calculated with using obtained experimental data. According to the computations the moduleefficiency was 12.07% for the 14.9 °C of Tp while it was found as 10.7% for the 51.3 °C of Tp. It was observed that increasing ofPV module temperature decreases efficiency.
