COMPARISON AMONG SOLAR PANEL ARRAYS PRODUCTION WITH A DIFFERENT OPERATING TEMPERATURES IN AMMAN-JORDAN

Solar energy is formed from photons of light coming from the sun in a form called radiation. Solar energy finds extensive application in air and water heating, solar cooking, as well as electrical power generation, depending on the way of capturing, converting and distribution. To enable such application, it is necessary to analyze the operating temperature of the cells in order that when the solar energy reaches the earth surface to be mostly used. This paper tends to describe the availability of solar energy for different operating temperatures in Amman-Jordan. It is found that the operating temperature plays a key role in the photovoltaic conversion process. Both the electrical efficiency and the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) module depend linearly on the operating temperature.
