Most PV cells are designed to operate at maximum efficiency at around 25°C (77°F). However, under sunlight, the temperature of photovoltaic cells can reach 65°C (149°F) or higher, which significantly impairs their efficiency. However, practical. Solar panels are rated based on their performance at standard test conditions (STC), which include a temperature of 25°C. The performance of a solar cell is inversely related to its operating. The efficiency boost of the PV panel depends on several factors, such as cooling methods, module type and size, geographic location, and time of year. The decrease in performance can be quantified by the temperature. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the coupled effect of temperature and solar radiation on photovoltaic (PV) module performance and lifespan.
