The EN 60904-5 standard is a specific approach to estimate the solar cell temperature through measurements of the open circuit voltage. The relation used is (1) T = T o + 1 β · V oc - V oc, o + D · N s · ln G o G t when the diode quality factor, n,is not known. G t is the solar irradiance incident on the cell/module and T is the cell temperature.
Estimation of the PV module temperature by the Skoplaki method based on estimation of ambient temperature by model (3) concerning cases III, VI and VII. The sinusoidal models (models 1 and 2) give incompatible instantaneous module temperature results with actual data throughout the day.
The results of the models obtained using the estimated weather values and the actual weather data were compared with the actual PV module temperature measured on the back surface of the PV module using a K-type thermocouple sensor. Accordingly, seven cases were suggested, divided into three categories.
The open circuit voltage method to measure PV cell temperature is shown to require accurate measurements of all parameters. A method is described to use standard approach to achieve a 1 °C accuracy under field conditions. The temperature of a photovoltaic module is a key parameter for the accurate assessment of its performance.
Conclusions Knowledge of PV module temperature is essential for an accurate assessment of module performance as solar module efficiency decreases by about 0.4% per degree Celsius. The accuracy of the temperature is important because a 2.5% error in the estimated temperature would lead to about a 1% error in the module performance.
The cell temperature may be estimated through measurements of the backside temperature by adding an irradiance dependent offset. In the case of free standing modules, an uncertainty in cell temperature is on the order of ∼1–3 °C depending on the characteristics of the module itself and the actual meteorological conditions.
