Experimental Data for Site-Adaptive Thermal Assessment of Photovoltaic Modules under Hot-Arid Climatic Conditions

The data originate from outdoor PV module temperature measurements and associated environmental observations collected during an extended experimental campaign. The dataset was used to characterize representative PV thermal operating conditions, evaluate seasonal behaviour, and support the derivation and validation of the Site-Specific Operating Cell Temperature (SOCT) framework.

The proposed framework yielded a representative SOCT of 49.9 °C for the investigated hot-arid conditions. The deposited data are intended to support interpretation and reproducibility of the analyses and results reported in the associated research article.
