Viability of Reflector to Improve Solar Panels Productions & Viability of Indoors Solar Panels with Artificial Light For Future Applications
Abstract
The
good voltage and current values in a solar panel, but they are not negligible for practical
applications use of renewable energies has gradually been incorporated into society to counteract the
damaging effects caused by the current electrical energy systems, which require fossil fuels for their
operation Photovoltaic systems have become popular among the variety of renewable energy systems
due to their great practicality However, these have two major disadvantages 1 PV Systems only
produce at their maximum capacity when sunlight is perpendicular to them and 2 they do not have
the ability to produce electricity at night For this reason, this research took two aspects of
experimentation 1 The feasibility of reflective materials (Mirrors and Aluminum) was investigated to
improve the energy production of solar panels when the sunlight is not optimal 2 Investigate which
type of artificial light works best with solar panels to use in indoor applications when there is no
sunlight For the first part of the investigation, the data showed that using reflectors greatly helps the
solar panel's operating parameters, but its usefulness is impractical in the long term For the second
part of the investigation, the data revealed that artificial light from a burning light bulb can cause.
