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.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal on Energy Conversion (IRECON) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original theoretical and applied papers on all aspects regarding energy conversion. It is intended to be a cross disciplinary and internationally journal aimed at disseminating results of research on energy conversion. The topics to be covered include but are not limited to: generation of electrical energy for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption and electromechanical energy conversion for the use of electrical energy, renewable energy conversion, thermoelectricity, thermionic, photoelectric, thermal-photovoltaic, magneto-hydrodynamic, chemical, Brayton, Diesel, Rankine and combined cycles, and Stirling engines, hydrogen and other advanced fuel cells, all sources forms and storage and uses and all conversion phenomena of energy, static or dynamic conversion systems and processes and energy storage (for example solar, nuclear, fossil, geothermal, wind, hydro, and biomass, process heat, electrolysis, heating and cooling, electrical, mechanical and thermal storage units), energy efficiency and management, sustainable energy, heat pipes and capillary pumped loops, thermal management of spacecraft, space and terrestrial power systems, hydrogen production and storage, nuclear power, single and combined cycles, miniaturized energy conversion and power systems, fuel cells and advanced batteries, industrial, civil, automotive, airspace and naval applications on energy conversion. The Editorial policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers regarding different research areas so that the Journal will be useful to all interested scientific groups.
