PEMANFAATAN SENSOR BH 1750 TERHADAP INTENSITAS CAHAYA MATAHARI UNTUK MENGATUR GERAK DAN MENGERTAHUI OPTIMASI SOLAR TRACKING PANEL

Abstract

The increase in power absorption in photovoltaic increases along with the intensity of direct or indirect sunlight which is responded to by the solar cell panel. Many methods are used, but in this study, the BH 1750 sensor was used by providing a plastic mask to respond to the intensity of sunlight in a certain month, the results obtained were used to input the control system to move the tracker panel adjusted to the angle of incidence of the sun's light intensity. The increase in power from the calculation of the results of current and voltage measurements turned out to be relatively larger reflector panels when compared to panels without reflectors and panels that do not move without reflectors. The percentage of the average power of the research results is 3.2% for moving panels without reflectors and 18.8% higher for non-moving panels without reflectors
