Abstract :
Efficiency of hybrid solar cells and fuel cells is a research to make the best
voltage comparison in which the resulting voltage is greater than one. Solar cells
can produce greater voltage than solar cells, this can happen because the fuel cell
has a less than maximum salt water capacity and uses small cathodes and anodes
so that the voltage produced is very small and cannot be converted to AC voltage.
The results of the analysis show that the solar cell is able to produce a greater
voltage because when the measurement of light is bright enough, with bright light
the solar cell can produce a large voltage. Measurements are made when the sun
is really bright, at 12:30 a.m., using the capacity of the 100 WP solar panel
module can produce a voltage of 20.3 volts. While for the fuel cell must increase
the capacity of salt water and enlarge the cathode and anode used if you want to
increase the output voltage value. The voltage generated by the fuel cell with a
salt water mass of 18 to 24 grams produces a voltage of 3.2 volts. Using a boost
converter the voltage can be raised from a voltage of 3.2 volts resulting in a
voltage of 10.5 volts in a salt content of 18 to 20 grams.
