I have subcircuits of a solar cell (resistors and diodes) in LTSPICE. I want to connect the solar cells (sub-circuits) together. However, each solar cell has a different temperature. I can set the temperature of the program with .Temp but how can I change the temperature of each sub-circuit separately.

There is a "jumper" component you add to a node (under the misc. folder). This lets you have multiple names for a net.
You can set the temperature for each component individually using the following approach:
After placing your component and selecting the correct model for it, do a CTRL+Rightclick on the component. In the newly opened window, search for the "SpiceLine" field and enter temp=500 (or whatever value).
Now your diode will have that temperature where the rest of your circuit does not.
Example:
In the LT-Spice netlist the line for the diode is displayed like this:
D2 N002 0 1N914 temp=500
With following result:

There are a few ways.
You can add it to the actual model you are using as a final parameter or use the component dialog box:
To get this dialog for anything that has a .model statement, use CTRL + right click.
If you are adding the temperature command within the SPICE listing, it needs the format of "temp=xx"; no dot required. The listing you show has omitted the '='.
