Abstract

A solar cell is a type of renewable energy engineering technology that can convert photons coming from the sun to be converted into electrical energy. The amount of energy that can be converted by a solar cell is determined by the effective insolation time. Peak sun hours (PSH) are the focus of this research. This PSH analysis aims to determine the potential for solar energy obtained in geographical locations throughout the year. Geographical location and the position of the astronomical coordinates of a certain area affect PSH. Therefore, the orientation of solar panel installation, including the height, slope, and latitude of the solar panel surface needs to be considered in order to get maximum solar energy. The results of this study can be used by technicians in determining the orientation of solar panel development in an area.

Abstract

A pyranometer is a device used to measure the level of solar irradiation. This device has a sensor that measures the density of the electromagnetic flux of solar radiation on a flat plane. The electromagnetic flux density parameter is converted into an electrical parameter in watts per square meter. Pyranometers are used in weather station devices to analyze and predict weather conditions. Solar power generation systems are usually also installed with this device. It is intended to monitor solar irradiation's condition to examine the generating system's performance. This article discusses the photovoltaic-based pyranometer characterization method. The characterization method is carried out to determine the measurement parameters such as accuracy, precision, and hysteresis. Knowing these parameters will make it possible to see the performance of measuring solar irradiation levels by a measuring instrument for solar irradiation levels, like a pyranometer. The characterization method is to compare the measurement results with standard instruments. The solar irradiance level monitoring is also optimal, accurate, and precise with a reliable measurement method.
