The investigation of the effects of different characteristic solar panel glasses and cooling system applied to solar panel on panel performance of the panel

In this thesis, it is investigated to what extent the panel glass, which is one of the most important components in module production, protects the internal components of solar panels that produce electricity from solar energy from environmental conditions and directly affects the efficiency of solar panels due to their light transmittance performances. In addition, the same tests were repeated with the different structure glasses with aluminum material added to the back of the panel. First, current, voltage and surface temperatures of 2 60W monocrystalline solar panels were measured by Labview interface program. Subsequently, three different glass types were tested for 2 days each with aluminum under the panel. Finally, the aluminum material at the bottom was removed and the same tests were repeated with the glass types. In addition, the radiation intensity was recorded. A total of 7 different situations were handled and the different characteristic glasses were compared with each other. In summary, how the efficiency of Afyonkarahisar under climatic conditions according to temperature and radiation parameters has been investigated. The data obtained from the study were modeled with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) techniques.
