Abstract: This paper presents comprehensive study on performance comparison of different photovoltaic technologies, when subjected to five distinct proportions of temperature and humidity in a controlled environment under biasing conditions. The study considers five different PV (Photovoltaic) technologies (Mono, Multi, a-Si, CdTe, CIGS) based on their electrical parameters. It is observed that CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) performs with best efficiency at 60 °C, 60% RH (relative humidity) while CdTe performs with best efficiency at 85 °C, 85% RH.
