Solar Photovoltaic panels have emerged as a prominent source of non-conventional energy, harnessing electrical power through the photovoltaic effect that causes them to absorb photons of light and release electrons. When these free electrons are captured, a Direct Current (DC) results that can be converted to Alternating Current (AC) to be used as electricity.
However, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of solar PV systems is crucial for optimal utilization. This research paper focuses on investigating the factors influencing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Recently, a rise in ambient temperature poses a significant challenge, as it leads to a reduction in photovoltaic efficiency. With a decrease of approximately 0.33% per degree Celsius above standard test conditions (STC), the generated electric power may fall short of meeting the load requirements. This research paper investigates the combined influence of the angle of incidence (AOI) and the wavelength of incoming light on the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The paper will first focus on the individual impact of both AOI and wavelength and will then study the combined effects. The deviation of actual power output from the rated value is affected by three major factors: irradiance, temperature, and the less explored spectral factor. The spectral factor relies on the spectral irradiance and the material's spectral response. This study will demonstrate the significant impact of the angle of incidence on the spectral factor. A polycrystalline Si photovoltaic solar panel is used to determine the relation between the angle of incidence and the power output of the panel. Furthermore, different colour filters can be used to experimentally verify the effect of wavelength on the power output of the panel. The combined effect of these factors was studied using graphical and mathematical analysis.
