Abstract: The main limit of solar cell is low conversion efficiency of photovoltaic panels. Efficiency of photovoltaic panels is strongly affected by temperature of photovoltaic cell. The light intensity loading on the panel will cause its own temperature change. And change in temperature will affect the power output from the solar cell. In this research paper we established a relation between efficiency and temperature of photovoltaic cell. In order to calculate efficiency of photovoltaic cell we have gone through output voltage, output current and power input of photovoltaic cell.

Keywords: Efficiency; Temperature; Photovoltaic cell; Output voltage; Output current; Input power.
