Both air and water cooled solar photovoltaic collectors have enjoyed growing attentions in recent years. Now days, a number of solar energy approaches are in progress and solar cells have paid more attention due to rapidly developing technology and potential applications to cater the energy demands of the developing world and the society. Investigators have reported solar photovoltaic research data within a wide range of control parameters. The dependence of temperature and irradiance on current-voltage characteristics of different solar cells using linear interpolation method and observed that the physical validity of the linear interpolation for the temperature was based on the current-voltage characteristics of the p-n junction devices In this review paper, the effects of the major control parameters i.e. temperature, relative humidity, irradiance on the performance of solar photovoltaic collectors are compiled and reviewed. Although investigators understand the effects of different parameters, the improvement of solar photovoltaic performance by optimizing these parameters has not been fully realized.
