Characteristic Analysis of Solar Panels on Clay and Ceramic Roof Tiles

In general, the PLTS Rooftop installation only considers the power capacity to be installed and the available roof area. It does not consider the type of roof material where it is installed. Meanwhile, the roof of the house has the absorption of sunlight and different thermal properties depending on the type of roofing material. In this study, the objective of this research is to observe the temperature characteristics between solar panels and roofs from 2 types of materials, namely clay tile and ceramic tile, in which the influence of the height between the solar panel and the ceiling on the temperature and its effect on the efficiency of the solar panel. Based on the results of this study, the temperature characteristics between the solar panel and the roof (T3) of various types of material have an influence on the efficiency value of the solar panel, where the maximum efficiency value is obtained for clay tile material at a temperature (T3) of 33.77 degrees C of 4.22% and ceramic tile at temperature (T3) 33.51 degrees C at 5.69%.
