A Comparative Study on Different Types of PV Modules and Their Optimization for Increasing the Efficiency Part-I

Abstract

This paper discuss the evaluation of different parameters involved in the solar cell modelling having variable input parameter. The objective of the research was to calculate the most optimized parameters of a solar photovoltaic cell. Solar photovoltaic is the fastest growing industry in the entire world because of its cleanness and easy in handling. The output of the system depends upon the construction and the material used in the system it is because the band gap energy varies for different materials over a wide range. In this paper different types of photovoltaic cells like monocrystalline, polycrystalline, CdTs were investigated to check their feasibility in the practical application of modelling. Additionally comparative analysis of the above materials were given for better understanding of their structure. Experimental analysis were carried out with MATLAB simulation to evaluate their performance.
