Efficiency Analysis of Perovskite-Based Solar Panels in Tropical Climates
Keywords:
Energy Efficiency, Perovskite Material, Solar PanelAbstract
The decline in efficiency of conventional silicon-based solar panels in tropical climates has become a significant concern in the advancement of renewable energy technologies. Environmental factors such as high temperatures, extreme humidity, and intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation contribute to material degradation, leading to reduced long-term performance. In response to these challenges, perovskite materials have emerged as a promising alternative, offering high efficiency and lower production costs. This study aims to analyse the efficiency performance of perovskite-based solar panels in tropical environments, identify the key environmental factors affecting their performance, and compare their resilience with that of conventional silicon panels. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, direct observation of test units, and technical documentation over a one-year monitoring period. The findings indicate that perovskite solar panels maintained up to 85% of their initial efficiency after one year of deployment, despite performance degradation caused by high humidity levels and prolonged UV exposure. Compared to silicon panels, perovskite panels demonstrated better adaptability to tropical conditions, although improvements in material durability are still needed. These results highlight the significant potential of perovskite materials for energy applications in tropical regions and underscore the importance of further research into protective coating technologies and material stabilisation strategies to enhance their long-term performance and reliability.
