摘要

Enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical global challenge in the transition toward sustainable energy. One promising approach is the integration of light concentrators to intensify solar radiation on the PV surface. This study investigates the impact of concentrator geometry and scale on the power output of a horizontal PV panel. The methodology involved a comparative analysis of three concentrator shapes (flat, concave, and parabolic) across three dimensional scales (small, medium, and large), fabricated from a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) based mirror material. Key performance metrics, including power output, current, voltage, light intensity, and panel surface temperature, were systematically monitored to evaluate effectiveness. The results reveal that the medium-sized parabolic concentrator yielded the most significant performance improvement, increasing the power output by up to 14%. This optimal performance is attributed to the concentrator’s ability to achieve a uniform and high-intensity light distribution across the panel. These findings provide a valuable benchmark for the development of more efficient, cost-effective, and widely applicable PV systems for diverse applications.
