Abstract

This paper analyses the possibility using a reflector of to improve the solar power output on buildings. Polished aluminium was selected as the most practical reflective material to be integrated on buildings due to various properties including relatively high albedo level, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. The material was simulated at optimized angles with respect to the sized Photovoltaic (PV) array while also putting the location under considerations. This strategy provides an annual average of 34.86% escalation in irradiation and resulted in an increase in power output by 53 % for the PV panels. The relative space saving was evaluated to be 34.65%.
