STUDI EKSPERIMEN PV POLYCRYSTALLINE YANG DIPASANG SECATUNGGAL DAN SERI PADA KANOPI DAN DINDING BANGUNAN

This study aims to calculate the difference in power and efficiency resulting from the installation of PV panels both in series and singly placed on the west side wall of the building, and calculate the difference in power and efficiency resulting from the installation of PV panels both in series and singly placed on the west side window canopy of the building. The research was conducted on the dinidng and roof of the window canopy on the west side of the Mechanical Engineering library building, Faculty of Engineering, Tadulako University. The PV panel circuit is divided into two, namely for series power of 20 and 30 Wp and for single 50 Wp. The panel placement was varied in 3 parts, single-series on the wall, single-series on the window canopy and single on the canopy-series on the wall. The results show that the placement of PV on the window canopy produces high output power with the maximum power in the single circuit of 15.90Watt, while the series circuit is 10.10Watt, compared to the placement on the wall. Then the highest efficiency value in a single circuit is obtained in the placement of PV on the wall of 10.86%, while the highest efficiency value in the series circuit is obtained in the window canopy of 6.24%, while the efficiency on the wall is 3.81%
