Abstract	This study aimed to focus on the outdoor performance ratio (PR) and the relationship between PR, module temperature and irradiance for (a-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) located in Thailand. The result of this study revealed that the PR of a-Si increased during the summer and reached the highest value in the rainy season. For a 3-year period investigation, average PR of a-Si showed higher values than the PR values at standard test condition (STC) and also higher than the PR of poly-Si. However, during winter, PR value of a-Si gradually decreased. The lowest PR value occurring in winter was lower than the highest value occurring in rainy season by 7.0 %. In addition, during summer and rainy periods from 2006 to 2007, the PR value of a-Si degraded by approximately 0.5% whereas it declined by 2% from 2008 to 2009 in winter. Furthermore, the results also indicated that the PR value of poly-Si decreased when the temperature increased. In addition, both types of solar cell have the same behavior of Voc and Isc based on the influence of intensity and temperature.
