This article presents the outdoor and synthetic performance data concerning the main electrical parameters estimated from the I-V curve for three photovoltaic technologies (HIT, m-Si and CIGS) and the weather conditions (irradiance, ambient and panel temperature). Synthetic data were generated by simulating in OpenModelica software the impact of weather conditions on device performance, considering an irradiance range between 50 and 1300 W/m2. The outdoor data corresponds to the performance of the evaluated PV modules in outdoor tests in Medellin-Colombia for ten months using capacitive I-V tracers. In both cases, different capacitor values were considered to evaluate the effect on the I-V curve behavior of devices.
