Reflector Installation Analysis to Enhance the Power Output of Solar Panel on the Roof at the Building of PLTDG Pesanggaran

摘要

The Solar panel has become an alternative renewable energy that can convert sunlight energy into electrical energy. The use of solar panels in Indonesia has become an alternative and the main electricity supporter. Diesel and Gas Power Plant (PLTDG) Pesanggaran has used solar panels as an electrical support to reduce the use of electricity that generated by its generators. As a support, solar panels are expected to provide efficient quality or even for effective use in office buildings. This study will discuss how to use reflectors on solar panels to enhance the power output of solar panels that will be installed on the roof of Pesanggaran’s PLTDG office building. Mathematical modelling based on the geometry conditions to calculate the optimal position of the reflector in increasing the provision of sunlight. The result of the calculation of the power reflector on the solar panels can enhance the power output. Results of 25% compared to conditions without reflectors.
