Abstract

The energy used in the world today still comes from fossil fuels. Limited fossil energy causes prices to continue to rise. One renewable energy source that is easily found is solar energy. There are various methods for harnessing solar energy. The method that is often used is to use PV panels. PV panels have the ability to create electricity by using direct sunlight. One case in the use of PV panels is low efficiency and output power. This article discusses the use of reflectors on PV panels to increase the intensity of solar radiation and the output power of PV panels. This study aims to optimize the use of reflectors made from glass mirrors and aluminum sheets on PV panels with variations in reflector angles. Various parameters are measured, such as solar radiation intensity, output power, and electrical efficiency. The use of reflectors on PV panels can increase the intensity of solar radiation received, output power and efficiency of electricity generated. Variations in reflector angles and reflective materials used affect the performance of PV panels. In this study, aluminum reflectors have provided a more significant improvement compared to glass mirror reflectors. However, at certain times, PV panels with reflectors can reduce the performance of PV panels because the reflector covers part of the panel area.

利用多反射镜提高光伏性能的实验研究

当今世界使用的能源仍然来自化石燃料。有限的化石能源导致价格持续上涨。一种很容易找到的可再生能源是太阳能。利用太阳能的方法多种多样。常用的方法是使用光伏板。光伏板能够利用阳光直接发电。使用光伏板的一个问题是效率和输出功率低。本文讨论了在光伏板上使用反射器来增加太阳辐射强度和光伏板的输出功率。本研究旨在优化光伏板上由玻璃镜和铝板制成的反射器的使用，并改变反射器的角度。测量各种参数，如太阳辐射强度、输出功率和电效率。在光伏板上使用反射器可以增加接收太阳辐射的强度、输出功率和发电效率。反射角度和反射材料的变化会影响光伏板的性能。在本研究中，与玻璃反射镜相比，铝反射镜提供了更显著的改进。然而，在某些时候，由于反射器覆盖了部分面板面积，因此带有反射器的光伏板会降低光伏板的性能。
