EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON 180VOLTS MONO-CRYSTALLINE SILICON SOLAR PANELS
Abstract
The performance of monocrystalline silicon solar panels is significantly influenced by temperature variations. This study investigates the effect of temperature on the electrical output of 180V monocrystalline silicon solar panels under varying environmental conditions. Experimental measurements were conducted to evaluate key parameters, including open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), maximum power output (Pmax), and overall efficiency, across a temperature range of 15°C to 75°C. Results indicate that as temperature increases, the open-circuit voltage decreases, while the short-circuit current exhibits a slight increase, resulting in an overall reduction in power output and conversion efficiency. The temperature coefficient of the panels was calculated to quantify sensitivity to thermal changes. Understanding these thermal effects is critical for optimizing solar panel deployment, ensuring reliable energy generation, and improving the design of cooling strategies in high-temperature environments. The findings provide valuable insights for the selection and application of 180V monocrystalline panels in both residential and industrial solar energy systems
