The aim of the present paper is to design, fabricate, test and simulate a PV module. Conventional PV module glass to tedlar suffers from several problems that threat PV technology. These problems are lack in output power due to yellowing EVA layer during the years, moisture permeation in the module through EVA and tedlar layers and drop in thermal performance during winter season due to lower operating cell temperature. In order to overcome these problems, glass to glass PV module is the appropriate solution to minimize the amount of wet into the module and increase heat gain. This PV module was fabricated and tested in Al-Mansour State Company / Ministry of Industry and Minerals, Iraq at Standard Test Conditions. The test result showed that the maximum power is 94.2 W and the module efficiency is 11.1%. The PV module was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software in order to estimate the output characteristics under different conditions such as solar irradiance and cell temperature. Simulation results were validated with data sheet parameters. The percentage error between the simulated results and the data sheet parameters for the open circuit voltage, short circuit current and the maximum power are 0.041%, 0%, 0%, respectively. Results showed a good closeness between parameters of data sheet and the simulated results
