This paper studies and analyzes the performance of photovoltaic panels for a flat-side mirror solar radiation low-concentration design. The system consists of two side mirrors concentrating surface that reflects solar radiation onto the PV panel area, increasing the solar radiation flux up to 177% regarding solar radiation peak at the Earth’s surface. Three PV panel configurations are analyzed: conventional, a photovoltaic panel with attached Phase Change Material (PV-PCM), and a photovoltaic panel with PCM and heat sink (PV-PCM-HS). For a classical configuration operating under concentrated solar radiation, the power increases by 79.4%. If we remove generated heat using a Phase Change Material (PCM) or PCM and heat sink, the power rises to 115.7% and 152.2%. The paper develops a new method to predict PV panel output power for variable solar concentration and configurations within 95% minimum agreement. The evaluation of PV panel output power using the developed theoretical algorithm is within 98.6% accuracy, on average.
Keywords: Concentrated solar radiation; Photovoltaic panel performance; Power increase; Efficiency improvement; Electric and heat generation.
