Abstract

This article explores the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels, which is crucial in the search for sustainable energy solutions. The study presents a comprehensive analysis of the maximum solar potential achievable through photovoltaic technologies amidst the increasing global energy demands. The research examines solar radiation measurement techniques, the incidence angle of solar rays, and the intricacies of PV panel efficiency. It highlights the potential for improving the performance of solar-based energy systems. Four main sections are covered, beginning with an introduction to the importance of energy storage in sustainable energy production, especially in the context of the European Union’s energy goals and the Green Deal. The following sections discuss the precision needed in the geographical positioning of measurement systems, the impact of light physics, and variable weather conditions on energy capture. The last section presents a novel clock algorithm regulation system designed to enhance the efficiency of the measurement system.
