Analysis of the temperature impact on the performance of photovoltaic panel

In this article a laboratory stand for measuring the impact of temperature on the electrical parameters of a photovoltaic panel is presented. For this purpose, the original program in LabVIEW for temperature, electric current and voltage acquisition in real time had to be created. Data acquisition was done automatically. On the basis of the results, the current-voltage characteristics were created. Moreover, the temperature coefficients and efficiency of a photovoltaic panel were calculated. The parameter values of a polycrystalline photovoltaic panel decreased with the rise of temperature. The short-circuit current, which increased slightly, was the exception. With the temperature increase, the efficiency of the tested panel decreased by approximately 0.5% per Kelvin.
