# .BuildSysPro.Systems.Solar.PV.BaseClasses.Thermal.EfficiencyFunctionOfTemp

Photovoltaic performance model depending on temperature

## Information

Hypothesis and equations

This model uses a simple equation to determine the electrical efficiency of the PV panel according to the temperature:

is the temperature coefficient on the power (of the order of -0.5%/K) and STC means Standard Testing Conditions.
