Effect of Voltage and Efficiency on Solar Panels with Landscape or Portrait Positions at Nurul Azhar Islamic Boarding School, Bengkalis Regency

Solar Power Plant (PLTS) is one of the renewable energy solutions that are environmentally friendly.Various methods have been developed to optimize the generation of PLTS.This research discusses the effect of the voltage generated by solar panels with landscape and portrait positions and its effect on the efficiency and practicality of the system.The research method involves analyzing the performance of electricity generated from both mounting patterns, taking into account factors such as sunlight intensity and solar panel positioning.A solar power generation system with a total capacity of 1 kWp was designed to support the operation of a 1 kW AC water pump as the main requirement.The system consists of 5 solar modules of 200 Wp capacity each, a 100 A capacity MPPT charge controller, two battery units of 100 Ah each, and a 1250 watt inverter.The results show that the landscape position of the solar panel is more effective than the portrait position, because using the landscape pattern is superior in a narrow space such as on the roof of a house with high light intensity while the portrait pattern requires a large area with high sunlight intensity.
