ABSTRACT
The efficient operation of a solar cell is influenced by several factors. Some of these factors are the intensity of illumination and the spectral composition of it, as well as the ambient temperature together with the temperature and contamination of the solar cell and the atmosphere. This study presents the voltage, amperage, and power change of a commercially available solar cell, caused by the temperature transient, by the help of simulations and laboratory measurements. Temperature transient investigations allow us to know more about cooled and non-cooled solar panel behavior, in case of constant intensity of illumination. During the measurements, we have concluded that increasing the temperature decreases the maximum power of the solar cell. Compared to the simulation results we experienced good tendential.
