Abstract:The sun is an alternative energy source that is currently being utilized, by using solar panels to capture light and process it into the electrical power we need. The performance of solar panels is strongly influenced by several parameters including panel surface temperature, ambient temperature, and solar irradiance. This research makes a solar irradiation sensor using solar panels as a substitute for a pyranometer and adds temperature and wind speed sensors to determine the effect on PLTS performance.
