Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is the second popular choice after silicon for the solar cell in photovoltaic (PV) technology. Among the thin-film photovoltaic panels, CdTe reaches its first position to surpass crystalline silicon PV in cheapness and confined a large space in the PV market. Before constructing CdTe PV panels its operating characteristics should be properly judged. Any solar cell being related to a high level of nonlinearity, the model parameter is to be chosen judiciously. The operating characteristics can be well considered after the model circuit parameter comes accurately. In this paper operating characteristics of a thin-film CdTe solar module is shown with the variation of series and shunt resistance. Also considering parasitic resistances, the output characteristics of the solar cell varying climate condition is shown. Validation with FS-6450A PV module and all the simulation works are done in Matlab/Simulink environment. In the end, it is concluded with possible outcomes.
