Abstract: This paper describes the effective utilization of solar power through photovoltaic cell in an urban area in Bangladesh. Using solar power in solar panel as an alternative power source, the main limitation is which one should have the better performances. Most widely used solar Cells are Mono-crystalline, Poly-crystalline, Thin film (especially CdTe, CIGS). In this paper we are focusing on the efficiency level of different types of solar cell using fill factor calculation (FFC) method. If we use Solar PV array in a combined power system then Fill Factor (FF) would play a vital role. In this (Indo-Pak Sub continent) region Solar PV doesn’t capitalized as power generation in a conventional system. But if we look at the present scenario of power generation then we found scarcity of fossil fuels (Coal, Gas, Natural Gas, and Diesel) cause an alarming situation of electricity. The area of field study that we select for this aspect is Jhenaidah an urban area in Bangladesh located at 230 33’ north east latitude and 89 0 10’ East longitude.
