Abstract :
In order to configure the right kind of Photovoltaic (PV) panel/PV arrays in a typical Indian climatic condition, electrical characterizations of different kinds of PV modules were carried out by the authors under varying levels of incident solar radiation (insolation). The experimental results reveal that amorphous silicon modules definitely enjoy advantages of lower mismatch losses with respect to crystalline silicon counterparts.
