Abstract

Various methods have been practiced for boasting up the output of solar photovoltaic module. Tracking more sun rays on solar PV panel is one of the effective schemes for increasing up the output. This sun tracking can be possible though automatic sun tracker or reflection methods. Comparatively the reflection method has more simplicity in mechanism than automatic tracker. Tracking more sun rays with reflection process provided satisfactory result. In dealing with reflection method we have found various types of reflectors like white foam reflector, standard reflector, aluminum reflector etc. In this paper, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of various reflectors on solar PV panel at different angles. From this analytical paper we can determine the effective reflector to increase the output of solar PV panel.
