Solar energy is a clean, abundant, and low-emission renewable energy source. Photovoltaic (PV) technology can convert solar energy into electrical energy; however, it still has a poor output efficiency since high temperatures can lower PV efficiency. Phase Change Materials (PCM) can absorb latent heat, which can be applied to PV as a passive cooling system. In this study, 50 wp PV was treated without and with PCM as a passive cooling system to determine the PV performance. This study compares three PCM types: soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax. Utilizing the PV-PCM panel temperature modeling technique, the inaccuracy in the experimental data was ascertained. According to the simulation, soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax PV panels had average temperatures of 48.6℃, 45.8℃, and 42.6℃, respectively, at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The experimental results show that PCM beeswax is the best in reducing the working temperature of PV from 60.7℃ to 52.5℃ at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The results showed that PV with PCM beeswax treatment as a passive cooler could increase the maximum PV output power of 3.04 Watt and the maximum efficiency of PV by 0.94% by lowering the maximum temperature of PV by 8.2℃ compared to PV without a cooling system.

“…Indonesia is an archipelagic country with two seasons, which causes it to be traversed by the west and east monsoons. Surprisingly, Indonesia is also located in the tropics, which means it has adequate light intensity and can produce up to 112,000 GWp daily [11,12]. Solar and wind renewable energy supplies exhibit random fluctuations and are not individually trustworthy.…”

This research proposes optimizing the energy harvesting system based on solar and wind energy, using the enhanced PV-Wind Turbine hybrid power grid to supply electrical energy somewhere in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The analysis was conducted by researching the possibilities of wind and solar energy and gathering data from numerous sources. To examine the available data and the economic feasibility of the proposed hybrid power system, the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) program was employed. The scheme was simulated and optimized using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Hybrid Optimization System for Electric Renewables model (NREL). Various analyses are examined, such as Net Present Value (NPV), Energy Expenditure, Energy Output, Usage, and Excess Energy created by each component of the resultant system. The results gained via the installation of this hybrid system are fairly excellent due to monthly production optimization and minimal maintenance costs with potential investments.

The supply of fossil energy is decreasing along with the development of civilization and technological advances. Solar energy is one of the renewable energies that can reduce these problems. Solar cells can convert solar energy into electrical energy using the principle of the photovoltaic effect. The performance of photovoltaic panels is affected by the increase in temperature in the photovoltaic panels. This study aims to identify the effect of increasing the number of deflectors on the air concentrator which is implemented as an active cooling of solar cells. This research was carried out experimentally by integrating an air concentrator, deflector, and heatsink on a PV panel. The application of various without concentrators, concentrators without deflectors, concentrators with two deflectors, concentrators with four deflectors, and concentrators with six deflectors, the temperature values are 56.70℃, 54.66℃, 53.30℃, 51.63℃ and 53.70℃. From several variations of the addition of deflectors that have been carried out, it is found that through the application of a concentrator using four deflectors can obtain the most optimal results by producing a maximum power of 24.50 W with a total efficiency of 6.35%. In this configuration, a temperature drop of 5.07℃ is obtained.
