N2  - The performance of two BPx47 CF single crystal silicon  photovoltaic modules and one SX -2 0, semi crystalline silicon  photovoltaic module is described in this research study. The  data obtained from the experiment under natural operating  conditions is compared with the manufacturer's specification.  The data and results obtained from the experiment does not  actually concide with the manufacturer's data for all three  modules. The efficiencies of the modules of the same size and  materials are found to be different.  The solar cell equation parameters are determined from the  experimental data by using the least square method proposed by  APPELBAUM et. al . The temperature effect and the insolation  effect on the parameters of the photovoltaic module s are  described . It is found that the . parameter values are found to be  varied with the temperature and insolation level changes.  The measured and calculated values of voltage are found to  be almost equal. The I-V curves plotted from the calculated  values fit with the measured values indicating acceptable values  of the parameters.
