HCPV Module Temperature Prediction: A Case Study Based on Measurements at NPUST

Article Preview

Abstract:

The subject of study in this work is a 135 Wp high concentration photovoltaic module with III-V solar cells. The module is currently installed in NPUST. Three equation forms for module temperature prediction were investigated. The simplest form predicts the module temperature quite well. Among these forms, the third form which takes into account the direct normal radiation yields the least error. The efficiency of the module was about 21% between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and the amount of power the module generates was linearly dependent on the electricity current.
