Abstract :
In some environments, such as among mountains, the installation of power supply systems is difficult. In such cases, a power supply independent of the Communication Bureau is necessary. Solar cells can be used as an independent power supply that requires little maintenance. To make most effective use of sunlight, this paper proposes the use of a three-dimensional photovoltaic module whose configuration is based on Fibonacci numbers. Using the results of simulations, a test device was manufactured and its power generation characteristics were evaluated, and were found to depend on the shape and spacing of the solar cells.
