It is the layer of material found at the back of the panel that comes in contact with the mounting surface. The solar backsheet is primarily responsible for providing insulation and protecting the PV cells from moisture, UV light, and other external elements that could harm their.

Because panels operate at elevated temperatures, some heat radiates downward, but the net balance often remains cooling when panels block direct insolation.

France's Sunbooster has developed a technology to cool down solar modules when their ambient temperature exceeds 25 C. The solution features a set of pipes that spread a thin film of water onto the glass surface of the panels in rooftop PV systems and ground-mounted plants.

The operating temperature of the panel is one of the important parameters affecting the conversion efficiency.
