Pengaruh Penambahan Kaca Film Pada Permukaan Panel Surya Dengan Variasi Tingkat Kegelapan 0 % Dan 20%

Abstract

Indonesia is a tropical country located in Southeast Asia and has many areas crossed by the equator. The use of solar panels as a renewable energy source has many advantages, such as being environmentally friendly, abundantly available, never running out, and can be used for free. However, in the use of solar panels there are still some problems that need to be studied, such as the effect of installing window film on temperature, power, and efficiency produced by solar panels. The purpose of this thesis is to explain the results and discussion of research on the effect of installing window film on temperature, power, and efficiency of solar panels. The research method used in this document is an experimental research method. The results showed that the installation of 0% window film on solar panels produces higher power compared to panels without treatment and installation of 20% window film. However, the installation of 20% window film experienced a decrease in power. In addition, this document also includes graphs and tables of research data on certain dates. The lowest temperature is found in solar panels with 20% window film with a temperature decrease of 3.39%. The highest power is produced by solar panels without film with a percentage increase in power of 12.96%. The highest efficiency is produced by solar panels without film with an efficiency difference of 2.3%. Data collection is carried out at a certain time and the light intensity is at least 2000 lux.
