Abstract
Solar panels are installed at roof, wall, ground surface, slope and so on. Panels are placed statically because of easy construction at various capabilities of installation locations. The amount of light received at fixed panels is affected by the shade of surrounding buildings, seasonal variation of solar orbit, the latitude and the clear sky rate of the installation location, reflection from the panel surface and the regional area. In this study to increase the amount of light received at fixed solar panels, optimization method is applied to determine the optimization parameters relating the installation configuration and the inclined angle of the panel. The formulation of the amount of solar light received at solar panels considered shade of obstacles by using ray tracing techniques and hidden surface removal algorithms. Several examples to demonstrate the effect of anti-reflection films are shown in this paper.
