The temperature coefficient of a solar cell is the amount by which its output voltage, current, or power changes due to a physical change in the ambient temperature conditions surrounding it, and before the array has begun to warm up.
Since solar panels generally operate outdoors, their temperature often rises well above this reference, especially under strong sunlight. Every solar panel has a temperature coefficient expressed as a percentage per degree Celsius (%/°C).
Temperature coefficient of maximum power The most widely used temperature coefficient in performance studies of PV modules is the maximum power (P MAX) temperature coefficient, γ. This value is used to correct module power to the STC level and calculate the temperature corrected performance ratio.
Two modules, which are normally labelled with the same power but with a different temperature coefficient, will produce different powers. The temperature coefficient is the parameter we need to calculate this loss, and it usually ranges between -0.29 and -0.5 %/°C.
