Abstract

Energi surya merupakan salah satu sumber energi terbarukan yang memiliki potensi besar untuk menggantikan energi fosil. Panel surya berfungsi sebagai perangkat utama yang mengonversi energi surya menjadi energi listrik secara ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan. Namun, performa panel surya sangat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, salah satunya adalah temperatur panel. Peningkatan temperatur pada permukaan panel surya dapat menyebabkan penurunan conversion efficiency, yang pada akhirnya mengurangi power output yang dihasilkan. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan sistem pendingin dengan dua metode, yaitu gravity mode dan anti-gravity mode. Pada metode gravity mode, air masuk ke dalam pori-pori serat pisang (banana fiber) dari atas dan membasahi material sesuai dengan arah gravitasi. Sebaliknya, pada metode anti-gravity mode, air masuk dari bagian bawah serat pisang dan bergerak ke atas melalui mekanisme kapilarisasi, sehingga membasahi material secara menyeluruh. Sistem pendingin ini memanfaatkan serat pisang sebagai media pendingin yang ramah lingkungan dan mudah ditemukan. Variasi pengujian mencakup kondisi panel surya tanpa pendingin, panel dengan sistem pendingin gravity mode menggunakan single layer dan double layer banana fiber, serta panel dengan sistem pendingin anti-gravity mode dengan konfigurasi yang serupa. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pendingin berbasis banana fiber mampu meningkatkan performa panel surya dibandingkan referensi tanpa pendingin. Metode Gravity 2 Layer mampu meningkatkan rata-rata power output sebesar 2,77% dengan energy generated meningkat sebesar 2,76%. Sistem ini juga menunjukkan kemampuan paling efektif dalam menurunkan temperatur rata-rata permukaan panel sebesar 8,18% di permukaan atas dan 17,01% di permukaan bawah. Oleh karena itu, penggunaan banana fiber dengan metode gravity 2 layer sebagai media pendingin pasif dinilai efektif diterapkan di wilayah tropis dengan tingkat iradiasi matahari yang tinggi.

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, offering significant potential to replace fossil fuels. Photovoltaic (PV) panels function as the primary devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. However, the performance of PV panels is strongly influenced by various factors, one of which is panel temperature. An increase in the surface temperature of solar panels can lead to a decrease in conversion efficiency, ultimately reducing the power output. To address this issue, the present study investigates the effect of a cooling system using two methods: gravity mode and anti-gravity mode. In the gravity mode, water enters the pores of banana fiber from the top and wets the material in the direction of gravity. In contrast, in the anti-gravity mode, water is introduced from the bottom and moves upward through capillary action, allowing the material to be thoroughly saturated. This cooling system utilizes banana fiber as an environmentally friendly and readily available cooling medium. The experimental variations include: a PV panel without any cooling system; a panel with a gravity-mode cooling system using a single layer and a double layer of banana fiber; and a panel with an anti-gravity-mode cooling system using the same layer configurations. The results show that the banana fiber-based cooling system improves the performance of PV panels compared to the non-cooled reference condition. The Gravity 2-Layer method increased the average power output by 2.77%, while the energy generated increased by 2.76%. This method also demonstrated the most effective cooling performance, reducing the average surface temperature by 8.18% on the top surface and 17.01% on the bottom surface of the panel. Therefore, the use of banana fiber with the gravity 2-layer method as a passive cooling medium is considered effective for application in tropical regions with high levels of solar irradiation.
