Conclusion


            By the end of the research study, the researcher will be able to produce a new development of photovoltaic-thermoelectric solar simulator. The researcher also will be able to understand the overall configuration off every device and instrument used. This project will provide an alternative way and efficient method in testing the solar panel by replacing the real sunlight with an artificial sunlight which come from the xenon lamp. This project will use the PV-TE hybrid system and the performance result produces will be observed to see the different on the electrical properties.
            Other than that, this project setup would have beneficial effect of permitting much less expensive installation for testing and development. Hence the test procedure can be used by manufacturers for testing of different type of PV tiles and combination of PV tiles in order to optimize its products for better efficiency.
