Abstract
This work presents a simple demonstration of a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel integrated with mirror reflectors to increase electric energy generation. The reflector was integrated with a PV panel and its angle was adjusted to an incline to optimize sunlight collection. Current and voltage generated by PV panel was recorded by an Arduino data logger. The integrated-reflector PV panel at an appropriate incline angle of 70 degrees presented a 9.38% increased electric energy beyond that of a conventional PV panel. This result was because the reflector provided greater sunlight to the PV panel. Therefore, this method can be used to increase solar PV panel performance without the installation of additional panels.
