Currently, all of the people survival can not be separated from the electrical energy, from the
people who live in villages and are living in a big city. The power plant is now a conventional
power plants that use fossil fuels in the process. While on the other hand, the availability of
fossil fuels will gradually be depleted so we needs the required of new power plants that do not
use fossil fuels in the process. Solar cell module is a tool that can convert sunlight into electric
power. Sunlight is a source of renewable energy that can be utilized as a new power plant. But
in the process it takes certain additions to the solar cell module so the output voltage is
generated can be optimized. This study aimed to determine the effect of the mirror reflector of
the output voltage produced by the solar cell module. Module of solar cells are used as many as
4 pieces of the capacity of 120 Wp. The experiments are conducted from 09.00 s/d 16.00, for 3
days without a reflector and 3 days using a reflector with different angles. This study uses a
reflector with a slope angle of 65º, 75º, and 85º. Solar cell module without reflector produces
the highest output voltage of 20.4 V. While the results of the output voltage of the solar cell
module by using a maximum of 20,7 V reflector at an angle of 75 °. The results of this study
show that the addition of the reflector can improve the output voltage of solar cell module.
