Abstract
Solar Power Plants (PLTS) are an environmentally friendly electricity generation technology that utilizes renewable energy from sunlight to produce electrical power. The working principle of PLTS involves converting the intensity of sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells embedded in solar panels. However, the efficiency of solar panels in generating electrical power is not always optimal, as it is influenced by several external factors. One of the main factors affecting solar panel performance is temperature. When the surface temperature of the panel exceeds its optimal threshold, the efficiency decreases, resulting in lower electrical output. In addition to temperature, the presence of pollutants such as dust or other debris on the surface of the panel also plays a role in obstructing sunlight absorption, significantly reducing energy conversion efficiency. This study aims to design and implement an automatic cooling system based on water spraying, controlled by a temperature sensor. This system not only functions to maintain the panel’s temperature stability but also serves to clean the panel surface from accumulated pollutants. The test results show that solar panels equipped with the cooling system were able to produce an average output power of 5.92 W, whereas panels without the cooling system only produced an average of 4.31 W. Thus, the cooling system increased the output power by 37.24%. Further testing on the effect of dust pollutants indicated that the greater the amount of dust attached to the panel, the lower the output power. When dust was applied in weights of 10 g, 30 g, and 50 g, the output power remained in the range of 6.5–6.6 W. However, at a dust weight of 100 g, the power output drastically dropped to 2.3 W. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that temperature and pollutants significantly affect the efficiency of solar panels. The implementation of an automatic water-spraying cooling system has proven effective in improving efficiency, maintaining panel cleanliness, and potentially extending the operational lifespan of solar panels.
