Maximizing Solar Panel Performance: A Comparative Study of Aluminum and Copper Panel Integration in Off-Grid Systems

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores the implementation of off-grid solar energy systems with strategically mounted aluminum panels behind solar panels, aiming to devise an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly design. The research builds upon existing literature in the field, focusing on optimizing solar panel performance. Through a comprehensive analysis involving voltage, current, temperature, and solar radiation, the study achieved a notable 1-2% increase in solar panel efficiency. Notably, this enhancement is realized without the need for additional space, making the proposed design a practical and space-efficient solution. The findings underscore the potential of this approach as a permanent, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious solution for PV solar panel installations. With the escalating costs of conventional electrical energy, the study advocates for the adoption of this method, aligning with the global push towards sustainable and eco-friendly energy alternatives. The insights gleaned from this research contribute valuable knowledge to the ongoing discourse on advancing renewable energy technologies, emphasizing the significance of efficient and sustainable solutions in the transition towards a cleaner energy future.
