Increasing the Output Power of Solar Cell Panels by Using Varying Directional Mirror Angles
Keywords:
Solar Energy, Solar Cell Panel, Directive Mirror, Increased Output Power, Renewable Energy EfficiencyAbstract
Solar energy is a potential renewable energy source to meet electricity needs in an environmentally friendly manner. However, the output power of solar cell panels is greatly influenced by the intensity of sunlight received, which often fluctuates due to changes in the position of the sun and atmospheric conditions. This study aims to examine the increase in the output power of solar cell panels by utilizing directional mirrors to increase the intensity of light falling on the panel surface. The method used is a laboratory experiment with the adjustment of the angle of the directional mirror and measurement of the panel output power in various configurations. The test results show an increase in output power of up to 7.3% at a mirror angle of 100° compared to without a mirror, which indicates the effectiveness of using directional mirrors in improving solar panel performance. These findings provide practical contributions in optimizing solar panel systems for more efficient and economical renewable energy applications.
