Abstract

Together with advancement associated with technologies things have gotten simpler and less complicated for people. Automation is usually the employment of manage devices along with details technologies to scale back the need regarding human being do the job inside creation associated with things along with products and services. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is regarded as the famous energy source amongst renewable energy sources which in turn that utilize to relieve usage of fossil fuel. PV energy is usually a lot of abundant energy sources among renewable energy. PV technology is change sunlight energy into electrical energy. The performance of electricity of PV module can be affected by solar irradiance and ambient temperature. When PV technology is process solar irradiance, producing lowered performance of PV modules and increasing temperature of PV module. When the temperature of PV module is reach at or more than 35 °C that detected by LM 35, PIC 18F4550 is switched ON the DC cooling system and vice versa. After switch ON the cooling system, the temperature of PV module is reducing. This controller system is an intelligent system because it will run the cooling system automatically when the temperature of PV module reaches setting level that detected by temperature sensors. The higher efficiency of PV cell, the payback period of the system can be shorted and the lifespan of PV module can also be longer.
