“…Stage 2 of the research will involve the incorporation of V-Through solar concentrator photovoltaic system installed on the PV Greenhouse roof instead of ordinary solar panels as research in Malaysia has shown significant improvement of power output as compared to a normal photovoltaic panel [27]. This will be performed only after the completion of stage 1.…”

Malaysia is a fortunate country graced by abundant sunlight, potentially having success in the application of photovoltaic (PV) powered greenhouses to safeguard food security. This research seeks to develop a design basis for PV greenhouse suitable for application in Malaysia. The motivation behind this research arises from the fact that while there have been studies on the application of PV greenhouses globally, most of them have focused on Europe, the Mediterranean, and Japan. The research will include two experimentalprototypes and one control prototype, all featuring identical mono-span roof PV greenhouses with a 15° tilt angle and E-W orientation which has been determined based on literature review. For stage 1 of the research, the prototypes will differ in terms ofthe PV array arrangements on the roof; whereas in stage 2, PV panels fitted with V-Trough Solar Concentrators will be utilized instead of ordinary PV panels. By filling the research gap by exploring the potential of PV greenhouses in Malaysia, the outcomeof this research will contribute to the development of a design basis for PV greenhouses in Malaysia, revolutionising photovoltaic-powered modern agricultural technology.

“…The solar irradiance availability will affect the energy conversion output of a PV system. PV panel technologies that are readily available in the market usually are of conversion efficiency of 4% to 24% [2,3,4,5]. The usage of a solar concentrator can further improve the performance as well as the output of a PV panel.…”

The photovoltaic (PV) panel performances are dependent upon many factors. A study was executed to ascertain the effect of a V-Trough Concentrator (VTC) to be engaged on a PV Panel in this research where the performance of PV panels are compared at different surface temperatures both back and front. The experiment was conducted using two similar rated monocrystalline PV panels. One of the PV panels was installed with a VTC while the other is without the VTC that served as Control for benchmark purposes. The optimum VTC selected is a 60° VTC. Both PV systems were built with a lower supporting mechanism and were placed to operate under similar operating and weather situations, while the PV panel surface temperature both front surface and back surface, Open Circuit Voltage (Voc), as well as Short-Circuit Current (Isc) readings are being recorded down at specific time. The theoretical output is determined and compared. This paper ends with a presentation of the results obtained in a study on the PV panel surfaces temperature in relation to its performance by PV system using a 60o VTC.
