The enhancement of output power in solar systems is intricately linked to various factors, including the implementation of a solar tracking system and other aforementioned characteristics. The primary objective of this research endeavor is to examine the extent to which reflectors and mirrors can be employed to augment the output power.
Reference reviewed a utilization of a widely employed planar reflector, exemplified by the Aeroplan mirror in this study, has demonstrated its efficacy in significantly enhancing the power output of a two-way solar panel by around 26% in terms of annual performance.
As a result, these researchers discovered that using internal and external reflectors increased the total system's efficacy by 70% to 100% . reference presented the types of reflectors in solar energy systems will increase considerably, producing more energy (output) than previously.
High reflective and durable mirrors are required for the viability of a concentrated solar collector. This paper is aimed to present the up to date progress in the solar reflector material and their performance testing. Thick glass mirrors with a protective coating against the weathering have made the place in the solar thermal power plant.
The glass mirror and aluminium are the main candidate material for the solar reflector. Reflectivity, durability and cost are the major parameters considered during the performance testing of the reflector material. In this article, studies on reflective surface preparation techniques and their durability analysis are also discussed.
This can be quantified by the solar-weighted hemispherical reflectance, dependent on the incidence angle. Second, the reflected sunlight needs to be directed to the receiver with minimal loss; this is quantified through the specularity of the reflector (as well as its shape which is not part of this guideline).
