This document describes research using tree-based ensemble machine learning approaches to predict the temperature of solar modules in a grid-tied photovoltaic system located in a desert climate. Random forest and boosted decision tree models were used to forecast module temperature based on experimental data on irradiance and ambient temperature from 2017. The accuracy of the tree-based ensemble approaches was compared to linear regression and artificial neural networks. Results showed that during testing, the tree-based ensemble approaches maintained over 98% accuracy according to the R2 metric, demonstrating their effectiveness at predicting solar module temperature compared to other methods.
