ANALISIS PENINGKATAN DAYA KELUARAN MODUL PHOTOVOLTAIC MENGGUNAKAN DENGAN CERMIN REFLEKTOR

The amount of electrical energy produced by photovoltaics is very dependent on the intensity of sunlight received. By placing a reflector mirror on one side of the photovoltaic with the right size and optimal angle, the light received is directed towards the photovoltaic surface. This of course causes an increase in the intensity of light received by the photovoltaic compared to without a reflector mirror, so that it will produce additional energy or power in the photovoltaic module compared to without placing the mirror itself. Based on the analysis of calculations in this research, the optimum angle was found to be 120⁰ with a ratio of the size of the mirrors used, namely 1:1. By carrying out tests on the photovoltaic module which was carried out from 08.55 to 14.55, an average energy increase of 17.07% was obtained when the module was conditioned with an additional mirror on one side of the photovoltaic module.
