“…Ahmed AM et al experimented with the water which flows through the tube, making holes in diameters of 2 mm diameter with a flow rate of 3, 6, and 9 L per hour, resulting in efficiencies of 8.3, 6.8, and 3.28, respectively (Ahmed and Hassan Danook 2018). So whenever a solar panel is adopted with cooling by water technology, the temperature of the panel is dropped by 4 °, and performance efficiency increases by nearly 12% (Musthafa 2015).…”

Recently solar panels are gaining popularity in the field of non-conventional energy sources for generating green and clean electric power. On the negative side, the photovoltaic efficiency is reduced with an increase in ambient temperature. The production of energy is dropped by 0.33% for every degree Celsius above STC. Consequently, the electric power which is generated by the solar panel may not be sufficient to run the load. It is important to realize that in some applications, such as standalone electric vehicles, space for providing an additional solar panel to compensate for the decremented output power may not be feasible. By implementing the cooling arrangements, this excessive heat might be reduced. Several cooling techniques have been implemented, named as active and passive methods. This article presents a review on maximizing the efficiency of the solar panel by utilizing different cooling methods and by integrating TEG with solar panels.

“…The equation for determining the efficiency (ƞ) of a PV depends on the ratio of power output (Pout) divided by Pin, Pin is equal to multiplying the surface area of the panel (A) and the intensity of solar radiation (ɛ), for Pout the equation is equal to the multiple of the resulting voltage (V) and the amperage current consumed by the source (I) [26]. This can use (4):…”

To overcome the fossil energy crisis due to the increasing need for electrical energy, new renewable energy sources are needed. Due to technological developments in the fields of transportation, industry, household, and commercial use. Indonesia’s geography has the potential to apply new renewable energy, more specifically photovoltaic (PV). However, it is greatly influenced by environmental factors such as solar radiation, voltage, which have an impact on the output power efficiency and performance. So, it is necessary to test both measurements and calculations to see the optimization of output power and PV efficiency. From previous research, it has not been carried out, especially in the experimental method Universitas Pamulang: measurement and empirical and for a sufficiently high capacity with the aim of optimal output power. Methods of measuring sunlight intensity, voltage and current, the calculation of converting sunlight intensity to solar constellation, power, efficiency, and performance ratio (PR). The average value being 721 W/m2 an efficiency value of 19.9% and a value PR is obtained of 0.967 or 96.7% is still realistic. So that the system is declared optimal.

“…For commercial use, monocrystalline solar cells' efficiency ranges from 13-19%. Commercial cells with efficiencies above 20% are expected to be achieved in the coming years [19], [20]. Some ways that can be done to increase efficiency are by increasing the intensity of sunlight, such as using a light-gathering lens or a light reflector such as a mirror.…”

Fossil energy sources are dwindling. It is necessary to develop alternative energy sources for future energy. The solar cell is an alternative energy that can be used in Indonesia. The current challenge is utilizing solar panels for the best possible power production. This research gives the solution to design an increase in solar cell output power by using mirrors, cooling, and a double-axis solar tracking control system. The results show that using a mirror, cooling, and double-axis solar tracking produces optimal output power with a current and power are 2.43 amperes and 40.3 watts, respectively. Meanwhile, several factors can affect this solar panel's efficiency. Specifically, the amount of solar radiation that the solar panel can receive depends on the climate on the day and location of the research and the solar panel's dimensions.
