Abstract

Thin film Photovoltaic (PV) modules of a-Si:H from United Solar are being tested at Florida Solar Energy Center. The important PV module parameters namely array output voltage, current, and back-of-module temperatures along with meteorological parameters namely; solar irradiance, UV irradiance, relative humidity, ambient temperature, pressure and wind speed are being monitored with an aim to study the correlation between the PV performance, solar irradiance and meteorological parameters.
