The damage of the solar cells in the photovoltaic (PV) module under harsh weather conditions is particularly an issue in tropical belt of Africa. The focus of this research is to investigate the role of the bio-filter on the PV module under harsh weather. It was discovered that the bio-filter narrows the voltage difference between the maximum and minimum voltages. This unique property of the bio-filter reduces the undulating excitations and de-excitations of electron in the PV module, thereby ensuring that the solar cells do not get damage. It is recommended that this experiment can be optimized via plant extraction techniques, doping techniques and doping concentration.
