Performance Analysis of Partial Shading on Solar Photovoltaic System under Aluminium Reflectors

The Solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy generation is rapidly increasing power in renewable energy systems and it is clean and cheap power. Photovoltaic (PV) system faces many problems in producing maximum power. One of the reasons was partial shading on the solar panels. The shading on the solar panels mainly occurs due to clouds, tall buildings, dust, trees...etc. This effect can vary the result current (Imp), maximum power (Pmax) and solar irradiation (W/m2) parameters should be reduced in Photovoltaic (PV) system .So in this research by providing aluminum reflectors on solar array system to observing shading effecting parameters performance. I.e, Current (Imp) 21.84%, Maximum power (Pmax) 22.34% and solar irradiation (W/m2) 5.29% are increasing and overall solar array system performance has been increased under shading conditions using aluminum reflectors.
