[IEEE 2018 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA) - Paris, France (2018.10.14-2018.10.17)] 2018 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA) - Effective Series-Parallel Cell Configuration in Solar Panels for FPM Power Generation Forest

摘要： Three-dimensional (3D) Fibonacci number photovoltaic modules (FPMs), which are designed in part based on natural plant leaf phyllotaxis, have previously been proposed as a means of efficiently collecting solar energy over the course of a day. When multiple FPMs are installed in the same area, they can be arranged like trees in a forest. As part of efforts to realize such power generation forests, this study uses simulations and experiments to clarify the relationship between the cell configurations within a solar cell panel and the power generation that occurs when an adjacent FPM is installed.
