Guinea-Bissau solar panel temperature measurement method

What parameters affect the forecasting of PV module temperature?

The first parameter affecting the forecasting of PV module temperature is solar radiation, where accurate knowledge of the solar radiation value is very important for the precision of the different models.

What affects the accuracy of PV module temperature data?

In addition to the above, the kind of solar radiation and ambient temperature used to estimate the PV module temperature affects the accuracy of the results, where the actual weather data minimize the error between the estimated and actual temperatures. Fig. 8. Variation in the coefficient k and wind speed through January 07 and July 29.

How to estimate PV module 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.

Can a PV module temperature be measured using a thermocouple sensor?

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.

How did Neal measure solar radiation?

Ambient temperature and wind speed were measured by the meteorological station NEAL (New Energy Algeria) . The inclined solar radiation was measured using a Kipp & Zonen pyranometer installed on the plane of the PV module.

Where were outdoor measurements taken under a hot desert climate?

Site and experimental data descriptions Outdoor measurements were taken under a hot desert climate in the Renewable Energy Research Unit in the Saharan Environment (URER-MS), Adrar (27.88°N, longitude: −0.27°E, and altitude: 269 m), Algeria.
