Indonesia has a high potential for renewable energy, especially solar power, due to its location in the equator and blessed with an abundance of sunlight. However, the energy potential from the sun is not maximally utilized. One of the efforts to increase the generated electricity and efficiency is by applied the panels in arches setting. This setting is made possible by the availability of the semi-flexible monocrystalline solar panel. This paper investigates the increment of harvested power and efficiency by arranging the solar panel in concave, convex, and plane settings. The data were taken in August 2019, where Palembang experiences the dry season and January 2020 during the rainy season. The highest power produced (20.27 Watt) and efficiency (13.14%) were achieved in a concave setting during the dry season. The convex setting produced more power and efficiency (13.26 Watt and 9.30%) compared to the plane setting (10.24 Watt and 9.71%). These results show that arches setting are more efficient to harvest solar power and give more extensive applications such as to power a dynamics mobile robot applied in agriculture.

Indonesia is a tropical country located on the equator. The average intensity of solar radiation in Indonesia is 4.8 kWh/m2. This makes Indonesia a country with new and ren ewable energy potential, one of which is solar panel technology. The first step that must be done in the process of installing solar panels in a place is to analyze the potential of solar energy. In this study, an analysis of the potential of solar energy as a new renewable energy source has been carried out at Budi Luhur University, North Petukangan, South Jakarta. Based on the research results, the maximum photovoltaic efficiency that can be achieved is 21.45%. During the day, the efficiency of the solar panels increases along with the ncrease in the value of the voltage obtained. However, the higher the panel temperature, the lower the efficiency of the solar panel. Therefore, a cooling system is needed to anticipate this.

Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki berbagai jenis sumber daya energi dalam jumlah yang cukup melimpah. Wilayah Indonesia akan selalu disinari matahari selama 10 - 12 jam dalam sehari. Data Dirjen Listrik dan Pengembangan Energi pada tahun 1997, kapasitas terpasang listrik tenaga surya di Indonesia mencapai 0,88 MW dari potensi yang tersedia 1,2 x 109 MW. Kebanyakan panel surya dipasang permanen dengan sudut elevasi yang tetap (fixed elevating angles). Hal ini menyebabkan panel surya tersebut tidak dapat menyerap radiasi matahari secara optimal. Penyerapan radiasi matahari akan optimal jika arah radiasi matahari tegak lurus terhadap permukaan bidang panel surya. Penulis tertarik untuk merancang dan membuat alat yang dapat dipergunakan untuk menempelkan panel sel surya tetap dalam kondisi intensitas matahari yang maksimum. Dalam hal ini, menggunakan satu sumbu. dengan telah dibuatnya alat penggerak mekanik satu sumbu pada solar panel ini, penulis dapat memberikan gambaran tentang pembangkit listrik tenaga surya kepada masyarakat. Selain itu dengan adanya penggerak mekanik pada solar panel ini, solar panel bisa lebih besar menghasilkan tegangan pada baterai daripada solar panel tanpa penggerak. Dan dari percobaan menggunakan penggerak mekanik satu sumbu ini menghasilkan tegangan di pukul 08.00 pada baterai nominal sebesar 2,04V hari pertama, 2,05V hari kedua dan 2,03V hari ketiga dan di akhir perhitungan pukul 16.00 tegangan pada baterai menujukan nominal sebesar 11,18V hari pertama, 11,27V hari kedua dan 11,3V hari ketiga.Kata Kunci : Solar Panel, Tipe BCT30-12, Penggerak Satu Sumbu Indonesia is a country that has different kinds of energy resources in sufficient quantities abundant. then Indonesia will be always exposed to the sun for 10-12 hours a day. Data Director General of Electricity and Energy Development in 1997, the installed capacity of solar power in Indonesia reached 0.88 MW of the available potential of 1.2 x 109 MW. Most solar panels are installed permanently at a fixed elevation angle (fixed elevating angles). This causes the solar panels can not absorb solar radiation optimally. Absorption of solar radiation would be optimal if the solar radiation direction perpendicular to the surface of solar panel field. Writers interested in designing and creating tools that can be used to attach the solar panels remain in a state of maximum intensity of the sun. In this case, using a single axis. to have made a mechanical actuator on the solar panel one axis, the author can give an idea of solar power plants to the public. In addition to the mechanical drive on the solar panels, the solar panels generate voltage can be larger than the solar panel to the battery without driving. And from experiments using mechanical drive one axis produces a voltage at 08.00 at a total nominal battery 2,04V first day, 2,05V 2,03V second day and third day and at the end of the calculation 16.00 nominal voltage of the battery addressed by 11,18V the first day, 11,27V 11,3V second day and third day.keyword : Solar Panel, Type BCT30-12, Activator One Wick

Nanosatellites, like CubeSat, have begun completing advanced missions that require high power that can be obtained using deployable solar panels. However, a larger solar array area facing the Sun increases the solar radiation torque on the satellite. In this study, we investigated solar radiation torque characteristics resulting from the increased area of solar panels on board the CubeSats. Three common deployable solar panel configurations that are commercially available were introduced and their reference missions were established for the purpose of comparison. The software algorithms used to simulate a variety of orbit scenarios are described in detail and some concerns are highlighted based on the results obtained. The solar power generation of the respective configurations is provided. The findings are useful for nanosatellite developers in predicting the characteristics of solar radiation torques and solar power generation that will be encountered when using various deployable solar panels, thus helping with the selection of a suitable configuration for their design.

Solar Panels

In recent years the use of solar energy is found to have grown by a large amount. Solar energy is renewable energy and the demand for it as clean energy shows its growth by nearly 50 percent in the past decade. It is estimated that the sun is able to generate energy within 24 hours that the entire population of the world could consume in 27 years. Solar power is the energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. The energy harnessed from the sun's rays is used for a variety of applications like electricity generation, to provide light for the interior environment, and many other domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes. Usage of fossil fuels for electricity production results in increased pollution and this mandates many governments to encourage moving to electricity generation using solar power. The large amount of solar energy that is available is found to be the most appealing source of electricity. Solar panels form a major part of the solar energy setup. Hence in this article let us review the various types of solar panels. This paper also deals with comparing the merits and demerits of the different types of solar panels that are available in the market. A section that presents the efficiency of the different kinds of the solar panel is also present in this paper. The role of temperature coefficient, fire rating, and hail rating in the performance of the solar panel is also addressed in this paper.

The use of renewable energy as a source of electrical energyincreases every year. Unfortunately, Indonesia does not have manypower plants that utilize renewable energy sources. The mostpotential renewable energy in Indonesia is the sunlight with the helpof solar panels that converts solar energy into electrical energy.However, the environment could affect the solar panel module andin turn, affect the performance of solar panels or the generatedelectric energy. This research calculated the performance of solarpanels with a single-diode model using the Five Parameters methodthat required solar panel module specification data, the totalradiation absorbed by the solar panel module, and the temperatureof the environment. The Five Parameters method is a methodmodeled after solar panel module performance in the form of thesingle-diode equivalent circuit. The Five Parameters method isreliable in predicting the energy produced by the solar panels whenthe input data is limited. The results for using the Five Parametersin monocrystalline solar panels were Isc = 1.827 A, Imp = 0.662 A,Voc = 18.221 V, Vmp = 15.019 V, Pmp = 9.955 W. And the results inpolycrystalline solar panels were Isc = 1.926 A, Imp = 0.686 A, Voc =17.594 V, Vmp = 14.166 V, Pmp = 9.722 W. Based on the results; itwas concluded that the most efficient and optimised types of solarpanels on natural conditions in Sendang Biru Beach was themonocrystalline solar panel because it produced electrical outputpower of 9.955 W. Therefore, there could be a manufacturer ofsolar energy power plants to reduce the cost of electricity in thecoastal area, such as in Sendang Biru Beach.

Abstract Solar trackers make solar panels perpendicular to solar ray to enhance solar power reaping. The relative motion between Sun and Earth has two degrees of freedom. Sun travels from east to west during daytime and also moves north and south due to Earth’s tilt. However, Sun’s daily north-south move is much smaller than its east-west move. Sensor-based solar trackers make solar panels perpendicular to solar ray based on sensor information. Although the existing sensor-based solar trackers increase solar power reaping from solar panels significantly, they also consume considerable power by driving solar trackers. Sensorless solar trackers make solar panels perpendicular to solar ray based on calculated solar location. The performance of sensorless solar trackers is not affected by bad weather. This paper is on sensorless solar trackers. Single-axis solar trackers have one degree of freedom solar tracking motion. They can catch Sun’s daily east-west movement effectively. The Sun’s small north-south movement can be covered for single-axis solar trackers by monthly or seasonal adjustment of their orientations. This research is focused on single-axis sensorless solar trackers that are driven by linear actuators. The advantages of linear actuator driven solar trackers are their self-locking function and high load carrying capacity. Their challenges include limited solar panel motion range, potential interference between an oscillating solar panel and its fixed supporting ground link, and high motor power consumption for solar tracking. The research of this paper is motivated by surmounting the challenges facing sensorless single-axis linear actuator driven solar trackers. In this research, linear actuator driven solar trackers will be designed and analyzed. The models of the designed solar trackers will be developed. The kinematic and dynamic performances of the modeled solar trackers will be analyzed and simulated. The results of this research will provide some guidelines for developing linear actuator driven solar trackers.

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources that are essentially inexhaustible like sunlight, wind, hydropower, and various forms of biomass. India has a huge renewable energy potential, and the availability of renewable energy sources is widely dispersed. The key objectives of the chapter are to assess the state development of renewable energy in India. It is seen that the average percentage users of solar power in India has increased from 0.27% in 2001 to 0.44% in 2011. ANOVA results indicate there is significant difference among the states of India in renewable energy development in comparison to their potential capacities, and there is enough scope for the development of renewable energy like solar energy in India.

Energy Needs

Renewable energy from the sun—which includes solar, wind, and water energy— can meet all of our energy needs and will allow us to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity production. At least, that is the “Siren song” that seduces many people. Amory Lovins, the head of the Rocky Mountain Institute, has been one of the strongest proponents of getting all of our energy from renewable sources (what he calls “soft energy paths”) (1) and one of the most vociferous opponents of nuclear power. A recent article in Scientific American proposes that the entire world’s needs for power can be supplied by wind, solar, and water (2). Is this truly the nirvana of unlimited and pollution-free energy? Can we have our cake and eat it, too? Let’s take a critical look at the issues surrounding solar and wind power. Let me be clear that I am a proponent of solar energy. I built a mountain cabin a few years ago that is entirely off the grid. All of the electricity comes from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery storage. The 24 volt DC is converted to AC with an inverter and is fed into a conventional electrical panel. It provides enough energy to power the lights, run a 240 volt, three-quarter horsepower water pump 320 feet deep in the well, and electrical appliances such as a coffee pot, toaster, and vacuum cleaner. But I am not implying that all of my energy needs come from solar. The big energy hogs—kitchen range, hot water heater, and a stove in the bedroom—are all powered with propane. Solar is not adequate to power these appliances. In 2010 I also had a 2.5 kW solar PV system installed on my house that ties into the utility grid. When the sun is shining, I use the electricity from the solar panels, and if I use less than I generate, it goes out on the grid to other users. If it does not produce enough for my needs, then I buy electricity from the grid.

Selection of the most appropriate contractor for the installation of solar panels is essential to maximizing the benefit of this renewable, sustainable energy source. Solar energy is one of the 100% renewable energy sources, but implementation may not be very simple and cost-effective. A key phase in the implementation of renewable energy is the evaluation of contractors for the installation of solar panels, which is addressed as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. A new hybrid method is proposed that combines the stepwise weight analysis ratio assessment (SWARA) and full consistent method (FUCOM) weights that are represented as grey numbers used with traditional grey relational analysis (GRA) and evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) methods. The ranking of contractors by both methods is the same, which confirmed the results presented in this research. The use of the grey SWARA-FUCOM weighting method combined with the GRA and EDAS methods increased the decision-makers’ (DMs) confidence in awarding the installation of the solar panel energy system to the top-ranked contractor.
