“…Te variation of the efciency with time of the day for both days of the experimentation is similar to those reported by Khanam et al [26] and Elminshawy et al [44]. As seen in Figures 8(d increases from morning hours to afternoon with the increase in the solar radiation intensity and then it is seen to decrease during the afternoon.…”

“…Te adoption of a one-dimensional (thicknesswise) variation of temperature approach can signifcantly simplify the thermal model. As mentioned earlier, Notton et al [17] have proposed an electrical analogy-based one-dimensional fnite diference model and Khanam et al [26] in their numerical analysis of solar PV cells also considered one-dimensional heat conduction.…”

“…(1) We start with cell temperature T cell initialized in step 1 of the iterative process for top loss estimation and a trial value of T bo � (T cell + T a )/2. We estimate T m and h and then calculate q b (� q cb ) from equation ( 27) and T bo from equation (26). Tis calculated value of T bo is likely to be diferent from the trial value of T bo .…”

“…Khanam et al [26] have numerically solved onedimensional, quasisteady state experimentally validated thermal models of four diferent types of PV cells, namely, monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin flms PV modules with opaque (Tedlar) and semitransparent (glass) back cover plates for four diferent climatic locations of India with the basic objective of prediction and comparison of their electrical efciencies. Tey found that despite having a high potential for solar irradiation (higher radiation and greater number of sunny days) in Jodhpur, the annual electrical output was higher in Bangalore for all PV technologies.…”

The rise in the temperature severely affects photovoltaic cell efficiency and hence its power output. Moreover, it also causes the development of thermal stresses that may reduce their life span. Thus, there is a need for an accurate estimation of the cell’s working temperature. In this paper, a detailed thermal model based on various heat transfer modes involved and their governing equations has been presented to estimate the cell temperature of a PV module using MATLAB software under different climatic and solar insolation conditions. In order to validate the presented model, an experimental setup has been built and operated under actual outdoor conditions of Jodhpur, a city in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. For the peak summer month of June, the predicted glass cover outer surface temperature has been found to be within 0.2–4.5°C of experimentally measured values and the back sheet temperature is found to be within 0.5–5.5°C. The predicted and measured power outputs have been found to be within 0.85–1.2 W while the efficiency values are within 0.17–0.38%. For the early summer month of April, the variations are 0.13–4.1°C, 0.2–4.1°C, 0.44–1.65 W, and 0.1–0.5% for glass cover temperature, back sheet temperature, power output, and efficiency, respectively. Thus, the predictions of the developed thermal model have exhibited a good agreement with the experimental results. The maximum glass cover temperatures recorded were 60°C and 65.5°C when the ambient temperatures were 35°C and 42°C near the noon for the early summer and peak summer day experiments, respectively. The presented model can be used to generate a year-round cell temperature data for the known environmental data of a location, which can help in the selection or development of appropriate cooling technology at the planning stage of the installation of a solar PV plant.

In this paper, a comparison was made between two types of PV modules widely used in the market: polycrystalline and thin-film (both of them are silicon-based manufacturing) to identify the variables and parameters affecting the efficiency of solar cells. The efficiency of polycrystalline is higher than thin-film, although the open circuit voltage is more affected by solar radiation. The comparison was made in Gödöllő in Hungary, characterized by a moderate climate temperature and humidity on a partly cloudy day to study the effect of clouds and the change in the amount of solar radiation on solar cells. The flexible feature of thin-film cells can be used in many applications, especially those related to covering surfaces, as it is considered thin-layer and does not require an expensive metal structure to install. All these variables were calculated and discussed. The difference between the efficiency of polycrystalline and thin-film modules was a small percentage ranging between (-0.2% to 0.5%). This difference comes from the manufacturing technology method and the manufacturing quality itself.
