dc.description.abstractReplacement of emission based energy production sources is vital due to the climate change effects in the world. One of the alternatives in this regard is the solar-powered PV cells. This work proposes a novel PV panel design using two mono-facial panels installed back to back to improve power efficiency at reduced space usage. A study was made with an outdoor setup during the winter season for three months, having a single-axis sun-tracking. The findings of this design suggest that the proposed panel gives 22% more power efficiency compared to the mono-facial panel of same dimension. The design was found less expensive compared to conventional bi-facial PV panels. The boost in the power efficiency of the proposed panel design is attributed to the thermal behaviour of the panel, low air pressure-humidity and surface albedo. The findings suggest white concrete surface gives optimal surface albedo for rooftop PV installation.
