Abstract

Solar cells generate energy through a photoelectric process. The electrical energy is produced when electromagnetic waves in photons pass through the semiconductor layer. In real condition, it is often found that the problem of low solar insolation caused by weather and shading factors makes energy conversion unstable and has low efficiency. In this study, PV output and current density are analyzed under low insolation conditions. This research uses a solar cell simulation research tool, GUNT ET 250 (PV module capacity 400 Wp) and a light source from a halogen lamp. Data retrieval is taken by providing radiation on the surface of the PV array of halogen lamps. The radiation emitted from the halogen lamp is set at a radiation of 10 W/m2 to 300 W/m2 using a solar power meter instrumentation. Data from the results of the study are taken by experimental methods with quantitative data tests using PVsyst. From the results obtained for the analysis of PV output at low radiation levels, the lowest PV output is obtained with a current of 0.06 A and a voltage of 10.4 Volts. The linearity of the PV output shows a low error with a regression equation value close to one. The study finding of this research are as a reference for solar cell installation in environmental conditions with low insolation levels.
