Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) are a low-cost solar cell technology with potential for development using environmentally friendly materials. This study develops a natural electrolyte from a mixture of tomato and bilimbi (ratios from 100:0 to 0:100) with the addition of 10% NaCl, and uses suji leaf extract as the dye. UV-Vis results show a maximum absorption at 679 nm (0.633 Abs), indicating …
The utilization of solar energy continues to grow in line with the increasing demand for electricity. Solar panels convert solar radiation into electrical energy; however, an increase in surface temperature reduces their performance and efficiency. One approach to overcome this issue is the use of a passive cooling system based on Phase Change Material (PCM). This study investigates the effect …
The efficiency of solar panels is greatly influenced by the amount of solar radiation absorbed, but their performance often declines due to rising surface temperatures. As a solution, the use of organic materials as passive coolants holds great potential for maintaining temperature stability. Banana stems and sugarcane bagasse were selected for their chemical properties that support thermal man…
A thermoelectric generator is a semiconductor device that can generate electrical energy from thermal energy. This study examines the performance of a thermoelectric generator with the addition of a magnifying glass configuration and a copper plate on the hot side, as well as variations in the cooling system, either without a cooling system or using a paraffin wax–based phase change material …
Solar energy is one of the new renewable energy that can be utilized as a source of electricity generation using solar panel technology. Indonesia has a large solar radiation potential of 4.8 kWh/m2 /day, so it is possible to develop the use of solar as an alternative energy to reduce the use of fossil energy which is limited and has many negative impacts that can damage the earth. This researc…
Indonesia, as a tropical country with high lightning intensity, requires an effective external lightning protection system for large-scale solar power plants to ensure operational continuity. This research designs an external lightning protection system for a 63-hectare solar power plant in Tanjung Pasir using IEC 62305 standard with Rolling Sphere Method approach at protection level III (45-me…
This study discusses the model and analysis of cooling techniques on a 50 WP polycrystalline solar panel using a DC fan and perforated aluminum plate. The main objective of this research is to improve the efficiency of solar panels by reducing the operational temperature caused by solar radiation. The research methods include the use of a solar panel without cooling, a solar panel with DC fan c…
New renewable energy sources are an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil energy. One is a solar power plant which converts solar energy into electricity. TEG integration in hybrid PLTS systems is explored to utilize unused heat into electricity. To increase the output power, the addition of a flat mirror reflector can be done. Two 2.4 WP Hybrid TEG monocrystalline solar panel prototyp…
Air merupakan unsur utama bagi kehidupan manusia dan makhluk hidup lainnya. Pada waktu tertentu di beberapa daerah sering terjadi kekurangan air.bahkan ada beberapa daerah yang dikenal sebagai daerah sulit air. Salah satu upaya untuk penyediaan air adalah dengan memanfaatkan distilator tenaga surya (solar energy). Pemanfaatan tenaga surya untuk destilasi (penyulingan) air laut menjadi air tawar…
