Effect of Temperature and Sunlight Intensity on Surface of Solar Panels on Electric Power Generated

Abstract

An alternate power generation method that uses solar energy absorption is the solar panel system. Temperature, sunshine intensity, and environmental weather all have an impact on the voltage, current, and electrical power produced by solar cells. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of changes in temperature and light intensity from the sun on the surface of the 120 Wp solar panel used on the electrical power generated. The tools utilized are a 120 watt power supply, solder, digital thermometer, lux meter, and multimeter. The findings demonstrated a clear relationship between the amount of electricity generated and the solar panel’s surface temperature as well as light intensity. The more light intensity detected and the higher the temperature, the more electric power produced. The weather has a big impact on both temperature and light intensity. The temperature and light intensity on the surface of the solar panel increase with increasing sun exposure.
