Solar energy, a ubiquitous and environmentally friendly source, plays a pivotal role in mitigating carbon emissions and reducing air pollution. This study evaluates the performance of a 50-watt monocrystalline solar panel over a thirty-day period in October 2022, within Merauke Regency, South Papua Province, Indonesia. Adopting an experimental research methodology and comprehensive data collection, measurements of solar intensity, temperature, voltage, and current were systematically gathered using temperature sensors, ammeters, and voltmeters. These measurements were obtained by positioning the solar panel at a perpendicular angle to direct sunlight, with data recorded between 9:00 and 16:00 Eastern Indonesia Time. The analysis of the collected data was conducted to ascertain the panel's efficacy, revealing an average output of 20.68 volts, 1.95 amperes, 40.37 watts, and a 9% efficiency. Notably, peak performance was observed on the tenth day, characterized by 21.30 volts, 2.24 amperes, 47.71 watts, and an efficiency of 11.01%. The findings of this investigation are anticipated to inform the installation and utilization strategies of similar solar panel types within Merauke Regency and potentially broader applications. This study underscores the critical influence of solar irradiance on the operational performance of monocrystalline silicon solar panels, contributing valuable insights to the field of renewable energy research.
