Detailed computer simulation based study of photovoltaic cells/ modules using circuit simulator PVEducation S/W package was presented in this paper and used to simulate a circuit based model or PV cells/ modules and then to conduct behavioral study under varying conditions of solar insolation including temperature, diode model parameters, series and shunt resistance, solar energy ……etc. The study is very helpful in clearly outlining the principles and the intricacies of PV cells/modules and may surely be used to verify impact of different topologies and control techniques on the performance of different types of PV system. To put the simulation study on firm footing, a comparative study was carried out with a previous work done by the authors, where an excellent agreement was obtained.
