Efficiency of power electronics devices are highly dependent on temperature. Hence temperature compensation and heat sink design are very important factors in maintaining the performance quality of power electronic converters. Thus the ambient temperature at which the device is operating also effects the performance since the heat removal by heat sinks or cooling fans is affected by the ambient temperature. Here a detailed analysis of the dependency of losses in power electronic switches on the junction temperature and in turn ambient temperature is presented. A theoretical Analysis of conduction losses and effect of ambient temperature on it is presented along with a set of experimental results by analyzing the performance of a 850W Solar PV inverter at various ambient temperatures. The results are satisfactorily explaining the effect of ambient temperature on converter efficiency.Keywords
Solar PV inverters, conduction Losses, heat sink, ambient temperature- Performance Loss in Solar Photovoltaic Array due to Non-ideal Natural Conditions

Performance of a SPV system is dependent on temperature, array configuration, solar insolation, and shading across it. Shading can occur when the PV arrays/modules get covered by shadows of passing clouds, buildings, etc., or even by shadows cast by other modules/arrays. As a result the ideal operation of the PV systems is severely affected the P-V and I-V characteristics. The modeling of nonlinear current-voltage characteristics of solar cells for performance prediction becomes difficult under the influence of shading. Non-uniform solar radiation due to shadows casted by the other panels/ modules, buildings, clouds, etc. can cause maximum power to change drastically. Partial shading of PV installations has an impact on its power production. For the simulated results it has been observed that 74.66% loss in I-V characteristics and 85.41% loss in P-V characteristics respectively. The power losses in the individual shaded cells would result in local heating and create thermal stress on the entire module/array resulting in hot-spot formation.Keywords
