Detector fly eye para a determinação da irradiância solar local

Abstract

Over the past decade, the use of solar energy to generate electricity has been showing ever-increasing numbers. In general, solar energy conversion systems into electricity are carried out by flat photovoltaic modules, installed previously determined inclination according to the latitude of the place of installation and in fixed structures. In this sense, the use of mobile structures or with different topology, has enabled the increase in the production and study of solar energy. In this dissertation, the literature on biomimicry was revisited, the sun as a source of energy and the different technologies used in the manufacture of solar cells, as well how it works, which contribute to a broader knowledge about the constitution of this device. In order to contribute to research in photovoltaic energy and the study of irradiance solar detector, this work proposes a fly eye topology solar detector with the potential to measure local insolation. The equipment makes it possible to observe the dynamics of solar radiation during the different seasons of the year. Confrontations were established between the results obtained in this dissertation referring to the seasons of the year, in this way, to verify the average level of irradiance in each station and the relationship with the angle of inclination of the solar cell in the device that were used as a radiation sensor.
