This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the coupled effect of temperature and solar radiation on photovoltaic (PV) module performance and lifespan. The culprit? Often overlooked photovoltaic panel tensioning adjustment. Just like a guitar string that's too loose won't play right, solar arrays need precise tension. . Photovoltaic (PV) generators convert solar energy into electrical energy using the photoelectric effect. Due to different coe cients of thermal expansion (CTE) of th di erent module materi-als the change in ffi temperature creates stresses. We quantify these ff thermomechanical stresses by performing Finite-Element-analysis (FEA). .
