Abstract

The electricity generation of solar cell with increasing light intensity by using the mirror is investigated in this work. In this experiment, there are two cases: the electricity generation of solar cell with and without the mirror. The solar cells install at lifted angle of 15° with the horizontal plane and turned on the south. In the 2nd case, the mirror can increase the light intensity by light reflection from the mirror only in low intensity period. The results show that the light intensity and the current of solar cell with the mirror increase about 22.6 and 14 %, respectively. However, the voltage of solar cell with and without mirror is almost the same value.
