Abstract

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of colour filters and tilt angles on the electrical output characteristics of solar photovoltaic modules. The experimental set‐up allowed for the evaluation of various combinations of colour filters and tilt angles by using a realistic simulation of solar panel installations. The various light spectrum wavelengths and energy levels were taken into account, keeping in mind any potential impacts on the solar cells' conversion efficiency. The results showed that compared to other filter combinations, the use of red colour filters with a 10% blockage rate and an optimal tilt angle led to a noticeable increase in electrical output. This result emphasises the value of colour filtering and tilt angle selection in raising solar photovoltaic systems' overall performance. When compared to the other filters, the red, orange, and yellow filters stand out due to their outstanding efficiency of around 84.98%, 84.08%, and 83.69%. However, the teal, green, and blue filters exhibit relatively low levels of efficiency of about 69.62%, 67.06%, and 58.52%, respectively. The distinct reaction shown by purple and pink filters, when subjected to tilt angle of 30 degrees, offers a potentially productive direction of enhancing the efficiency of PV panel.
