In this work, five different models reported in the literature for estimating the PV module temperature were compared and evaluated. Seven cases have been proposed; the latter differ with respect to the nature of input parameter data of solar radiation and ambient temperature (i.e., measured or estimated).
Estimation of the PV module temperature by the Skoplaki method based on estimation of ambient temperature by model (3) concerning cases III, VI and VII. The sinusoidal models (models 1 and 2) give incompatible instantaneous module temperature results with actual data throughout the day.
The accuracy of the temperature is important because a 2.5% error in the estimated temperature would lead to about a 1% error in the module performance. A comparison is made between seven models that estimates the module temperature using the solar irradiance and other meteorological measurements.
In addition to the above, the kind of solar radiation and ambient temperature used to estimate the PV module temperature affects the accuracy of the results, where the actual weather data minimize the error between the estimated and actual temperatures.

Measuring the cell temperature according to the EN 60904-5 standard The EN 60904-5 standard is a specific approach to estimate the solar cell temperature through measurements of the open circuit voltage. The relation used is (1) T = T o + 1 β · V oc - V oc, o + D · N s · ln G o G t when the diode quality factor, n,is not known.
The first parameter affecting the forecasting of PV module temperature is solar radiation, where accurate knowledge of the solar radiation value is very important for the precision of the different models.
The results of the models obtained using the estimated weather values and the actual weather data were compared with the actual PV module temperature measured on the back surface of the PV module using a K-type thermocouple sensor. Accordingly, seven cases were suggested, divided into three categories.
