DESIGN OF COOLING SYSTEM AUTOMATION ON SOLAR CELL BASED ON PROPORTIONAL INTEGRAL DERIVATIVE (PID)

Abstract

The electrical energy produced by solar cell technology in the form of electrical energy depends on the intensity of sunlight and depends on the performance of solar panels. The design or research design that will be carried out is to design an automatic system as a cooler on the surface of solar panels using several components needed, including solar panels, NodeMCU ESP8266, INA219 sensor, LCD, battery, DHT11 sensor, DC water pump, and MIT APP inventor. This tool is to optimize the performance of solar panels and get optimal voltage output and solar panel cleaners, using the PID method which functions to regulate the rotation speed of the motor / DC pump that will be operated on this tool which can be monitored through an application on a mobile phone.
