“…The tests can be investigated by utilizing solar simulator at any time, continued for 24 hours a day, controlled for variation of temperature and other features of a common environment. Fu Qiang and Tong Nan [7] have proposed simulation model of PV cells is built to simulate environment situations under different lights and temperatures. The choice of an ideal light source to simulate sunlight and it's a real strength is the principal work with a design of solar simulator.…”
Measurement the outdoor efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels is essential, but it is not likely an exceptional circumstance at any given moment is always repeating itself. A solar simulator was designed and fabricated for the purpose of analyzing the performance of PV panel with and without an air cooling mechanism in indoor test. Twenty units of 500 W halogen lamps with build-in reflector support by the steel structure holder act as a natural sunlight. The uniformity of the solar radiation was measured in the test area. Two units of PV panel with same characteristics were experimental in three sets of uniformity of solar radiation, which are 620, 821 and 1016 W/m². The operating temperature of PV panel with an air cooling mechanism can be decreased 2-3 ˚C compared to PV panel reference. The PV panel with an air cooling mechanism can be increased in 3-7 % of maximum power output based on solar radiation. An overall method and procedure of the measurement by the solar simulator are discussed and proposed.

“…The equivalent model of a solar panel consists of a current source that depends on the solar irradiation in parallel with a diode and two resistors, the first in the series and the second is a parallel which represent the internal joule losses [5]- [7]. The equivalent-circuit model of PV is illustrated in Figure 2.…”
“…A device that forces PV to operate at the MPP is called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) which typically employs a DC to DC converter that connects the PV system to the load [2]. To obtain maximum power from solar panel array, photovoltaic power system usually requires a MPPT controller [3].…”
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a technique to maximize the power output of photovoltaic (PV). Therefore, to achieve higher PV efficiency, the development of MPPT control algorithm is necessary. Recently, it was revealed that fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is better than other control algorithms and is possible toe developed. This study fabricated and implemented MPPT based on the proposed a new FLC. Input Calculator (IC) via sensors reads current and voltage of PV and generates the comparison of voltage and current of PV, then IC output becomes fuzzy algorithm input. Fuzzy algorithm produces duty cycle that drives synchronous buck converter. The result showed that MPPT system with proposed FLC method has 99.1% efficiency while MPPT system with P&O method has 95.5% efficiency. From the obtained result, it can be concluded that the MPPT based on the proposed FLC can increase the overall efficiency of the system to 99.3%.
