Abstract
Over the past quarter century, India has widely adopted photovoltaic (PV) technologies for social and economic development. India is the world’s biggest consumer for small rural solar electric systems used for residential power, refrigeration, irrigation, distance education and hybrid systems. The use of PV systems has increased dramatically from an initial concept pioneered by a few visionaries to many thriving businesses throughout the rural regions today. Thus, it is important to compare the available technology for the Indian weather condition. The two best available solar energy conversion technology are based on monocrystalline and polycrystalline technology. The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of the most commercially available PV modules (monocrystalline and polycrystalline) in India; the country in the south-east with wide regions in arid to semi-arid climate conditions and huge potentials for harvesting the solar power. In addition, to provide a recommendation for panel selection to the PV system consumer to choose the panels suitable for different areas in India according to the environmental characteristics in this area. The parameters consider for the study are module temperature, ambient temperature and solar radiation are considered for the study. The IV characteristics and current voltage curve has been drawn for the comparison.
