The effects of wind speed (F) and angle (theta) on the photovoltaic (PV) cells' (monocrystalline silicon and triple-junction GaAs solar cells) temperature (T) and output characteristics (the short-circuit current (I-sc), the open-circuit voltage (V-oc) and the maximum power (P-max)) have been studied experimentally and analyzed theoretically. The results first show that T and I-sc of both cells decrease, but V-oc and P-max of both cells increase with an increase in F (theta). The reason is that the increase of F (theta) results in the heat exchange between the PV modules and the external environment increasing and tending to be stable. Second, T, I-sc, V-oc, and P-max change rate of silicon cell are found to be more affected by F (theta) than that of GaAs cell. The reason is that the temperature coefficient of silicon cell is larger than that of GaAs cell. Finally, T, I-sc, V-oc, and P-max of both cells are more sensitive to F than theta. This is because the cell's temperature changes depend more strongly on F.
