Geometric analysis of reflector systems for solar cell modules

This thesis is a study of the design, analysis and experimentation, of developing a feasible solar cell collector module, which in turn, can improve the output performance of a solar cell. The first Chapter is devoted to defining the background, structure and abilities of a solar cell, and to illustrating the long—term attraction to utilising solar energy. The extent of solar energy falling on earth in relation to its orientation with the earth is treated in Chapter two. Chapter three deals with various stages of module development and analysis; Chapter four illustrates the module experiment with simulated sunlight and confirms the result which was analysed previously. The remaining Chapter describes the cost-effectiveness of the module and the limitations, products, and achievements of the solar cell overseas and in this country
