Performance evaluation of solar PV module with filters in an outdoor environment

Energy is the current need of the hour. Energy shortage in every part of the world has lead to the need for exploration of renewable sources of energy. Solar energy is the most prominently used renewable form of energy. Solar photovoltaic system efficiency depends on the wavelength of the solar radi...

description Energy is the current need of the hour. Energy shortage in every part of the world has lead to the need for exploration of renewable sources of energy. Solar energy is the most prominently used renewable form of energy. Solar photovoltaic system efficiency depends on the wavelength of the solar radiation it is exposed to. In the present study, extensive research has been carried using different colour filter papers to evaluate the electrical performance of the solar photovoltaic module. Five different filters were used from magenta to red so that the relationship of frequency or wavelength and photonic energy can be determined. The efficiency and power of the solar photovoltaic module were measured with and without filters, and their performance was compared.
