Studying the Effect of the Atmosphere Factors on Properties of the Panel and Thin Film which are used as Luminescent Solar Concentrators and Made from the Tagetes flowers

Alaa Mahdi Mohammed

Abstract: In this study, panel and film had been prepared from organic pigment extraction from flower Tagetes as luminescent solar concentrators to improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells. The absorption and fluorescence of this extracted pigment is relatively, good. It has a considerable ability to absorb a high quantity from the sun light. Throughout this study, each of the panel and thin film has considered with constant concentration and thickness, and the use of epoxy polymer in the preparation of the panel and the alcohol acetone is considered constant, too, that they do not affect the properties of the panel and thin film coat with the solar cell. Effects of atmosphere factors (wind, dust, temperature, and sunlight intensity) on the properties of the panel and thin film with the solar cell have been investigated. The results show that both of the panel and thin film contributed to raise up the efficiency of the solar cell. It has been found that increasing the intensity of light increases the solar cell efficiency at a high rate. Conversely, the heat factor, effectively, lowers the solar cell efficiency (adversely proportioned). However, factors of the wind and dust did not greatly affect the properties of the panel and thin film of solar cell.
