<p>Gokula,</p>
<p> Type567 contains a somewhat simple electrical model of the PV
in that it asks you to provide the electrical efficiency either as
a constant value, as an input, or in a performance map. If you
choose one of the two modes in which the efficiency is a constant
or an input and the value is not adjusted according to the cell
temperature then you're not going to see any change in electrical
performance with a change in cell temperature. Your best option is
probably to use the performance map version but then you'll need
to edit the data file to describe how the electrical efficiency of
the PV changes with cell temperature.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>

I would like to know the suitability of using Type567-6 (TESS
component) for floating photovoltaics. When I vary the back
surface temperature of the component, I did not find any impact
on the power generation from it. Please let me know whether the
type567-6 is suitable for it or not. </div>

Please also advice which component 'type' is suitable for
floating photovoltaics, especially for studying the impact of
back surface temperature on the power generation. </div>
