Comparative study of commercial available mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline silicon solar panel

Abstract

The objective of our thesis is to analyze the performance of two types of silicon panels that are mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline under different climatic conditions of Bangladesh. Temperature, wind speed, solar irradiation affects the performance of solar panel. In our work different parameters of the solar cells such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current, series resistance of a photovoltaic cell, maximum power output point, fill factor, maximum working current and maximum working voltage will be measured under different temperature and illumination conditions. Experiments will be conducted in indoors. Energy efficiency and cost effectiveness of mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline panel will be compared.
