Abstract
 
 The environmental conditions are important factors, because they affect both the efficiency of a photovoltaic module and the energy load. This research was carried out experimentally and modeling was done in MATLAB –Simulink by monitoring the variation in power output of the system with environmental conditions such as solar radiation, ambient temperature, wind speed, and humidity of Baghdad city. From the results, the ambient temperatures are inversely proportional to humidity and the output power performance of the system, while the wind speed is directly proportional with the output power performance of the system. 
 
 Keywords: Ambient temperature, cell temperature, humidity, Photovoltaic, solar radiation, wind speed.
Highlights
Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy
The influence of cell temperature on the I-V and P-V characteristic curve of monocrystalline solar cell has been evaluated under three different radiations intensity 500,750 and 1000 W/m2.Figures 4, 5 and 6 showing that the cell temperature has a strong influence on I-V and P-V characteristic of monocrystalline PV solar cell at constant radiation because its effect on open circuit voltage (VOC)
The cell temperature has a strong influence on performance of PV solar cells because its effect on open circuit voltage (VOC)
Summary
Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy. If only a small amount of this form of energy could be used, it will be one of the most important supplies of energy specially when other sources in the country have depleted energy comes to the earth from the sun. The use of solar energy for electrical power generation dates back to space age when solar photo voltaic cells were used to power satellites orbiting around the earth. With passing time it was realized that solar photo voltaic can be used as a power source not just for satellites but as the cleanest and greenest power source on earth. Solar Energy started being used not just for conventional purposes such as heating and power generation [1]. Modern PV cells are capable of converting up to 15% of the sun’s energy into DC electric power. Single- crystal silicon has a uniform molecular structure compared to non-crystalline materials, its high uniformity results in higher energy conversion efficiency, more electricity is generated for a given area of exposure to the sunlight. There will be a study of the impact of these parameters on the performance of photovoltaic cells
