Photovoltaic (PV) modules are affected by environmental factors, such as operating temperature, solar radiation, and wind velocity. The effect of these environmental conditions will verify the conversion efficiency of PV module due to the increase of the PV module temperature. In this study, an evaluation system was constructed to control the module temperature. The conversion efficiency of the single crystal silicon cell was measured with the increase of the irradiation intensity by changing the module surface temperature. Experimental results showed that the conversion efficiency decreased to 8.1[%] by increasing the integrated power from 1000[W/m2] to 6250[W/m2]. The conversion efficiency is linearly affected by cooling the back surface.
