Abstract :
An efficiency of photovoltaic panel depends on its temperature. The general rule is the higher temperature the lower efficiency. The temperature of PV-panel is integration of few factor and one of them is ambient (air) temperature therefore the air temperature has influence on amount of produced electric energy. In order to investigate if the ambient temperature has a positive or negative effect many simulations were made and the results are presented in this paper.
