Determination of Fill Factor and Efficiency in Solar Cell Type (99 × 69) mm2 with Arduino Uno R3 Based Drive assisted by Logger Pro 3.14.1

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the fill factor and efficiency of solar cell type (99×69) mm 2 with arduino uno R3 based automatic drive assisted logger pro 3.14.1. This study aims to determine the value of the fill factor and the efficiency of solar cell type (99×69) mm 2 on manual and automatic drives with a microcontroller collaboration using Arduino Uno R3 as a data acquisition tool. The use of samples in research on fill factors and the efficiency of solar cells with automatic drive rotating the surface of the solar cell follows the motion of the light source from 0 to 90 compared to without the automatic drive from 10 to 70. The test results are then implemented to determine the fill factor and efficiency in variations in light intensity. In this experiment the type of solar cell used polycrystalline type (99×69) mm 2 was presented in front of a Philips 100 W/220 V light bulb at a distance of 18 cm and the solar cell automatic drive was controlled via an arduino uno R3 microcontroller. Current and voltage data acquisition is carried out with the help of DCP-BTA currents and VP-BTA voltage probes that are connected to the mini labquest transducer and displayed to a computer through software logger pro 3.14.1. Furthermore, the solar cell voltage-current data is diffitting using the exponential equation in logger pro software. Based on the results of solar cell research type (99×69) mm 2 percentage of the fill factor value of 60,2  0,5 and efficiency of 26  0,4 in manual motion. Whereas in the automatic drive percentage fill factor 66,3  0,4 and efficiency 26  0,1. Percentages in automatic drive can increase the accuracy and precision of current and voltage readings so that the fill factor increases by 10% while efficiency does not change. Furthermore, the greatest variation in light intensity is 993.34 W/m 2 with a fill factor of 71% and an efficiency of 31%. This fill factor and efficiency have an exponential relationship with light intensity.

Development of an Inexpensive Spectrometer Tool with a Tracker to Investigate Light Spectrum

“…Making a spectroscope today and viewing the light spectrum of either natural or artificial light is relatively straightforward (the rainbow hues) (Hamzah et al, 2022). There are many low-cost optical prisms, diffraction gratings, and recycled CDs and DVDs on the market that can divide white light into its individual hues (Hamdani et al, 2022a).…”

Smart Charging Menggunakan Solar Cell Berbasis Arduino

“…Arduino berfungsi sebagai pengontrol rangkaian elektronika. Arduino merupakan modul mikrokontroler berbasis ATmega328 dengan 14 pin input/output, bisa 6 pin digunakan sebagai output, 6 input analog, koneksi USB, soket adaptor, pin header ICSP dan tombol menggunakan bahasa coding berupa bahasa C. [5]. Seiring perubahan waktu, ada banyak pengontrol tertanam yang dibuat dan pengontrol proporsionalintegral-derivatif (PID) telah ada selama bertahun-tahun di industri dan hingga saat ini masih valid untuk digunakan pada teknologi saat ini.…”
