EVALUATION OF LAMP EFFICIENCY IN THE ENERGY PRODUCTION PROCESS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate lamps that can produce light that resembles that of sunlight and that have a low cost for installation in the existing prototype in the laboratory. In the study in question, several aspects were evaluated, such as the efficiency in the production of energy from the photovoltaic panel, the possibility of controlling brightness, low cost and adaptability to the existing prototype. Lamps such as incandescent, infrared, halogen, LED, sodium vapor and metallic were analyzed. It was seen that the most suitable for the aspects mentioned above were the infrared lamps, which obtained a yield of about 25% (better than the others) and have a cost compatible with the others analyzed.
