In order to address the pressing issue of enhancing solar photovoltaic (PV) efficiency in both rural and urban settings, this research aims to maximize the system's output of solar electric power and investigate its thermal behavior. With the use of extensive calculations and empirical validation, the Smart Sunflower system's thermal performance in relation to conventional panels is investigated. The insightful results highlight how crucial efficient heat management is to PV system efficiency and resilience optimization. Key findings reveal that a 25% increase in solar radiation results in a notable 26% rise in output power. Conversely, a mere 10℃ temperature rise can lead to a 1% decrease in panel output, highlighting the significance of meticulous environmental considerations. Results are more credible when validated against simulations and real-world data. Furthermore, this study shows that routine panel cleaning can increase efficiency by as much as 4.5%, which would provide significant benefits for urban solar energy systems. In summary, the work that has been described helps to tackle the pressing problem of maximizing solar energy generation in agricultural and urban environments using cutting-edge innovations like the Smart Sunflower system.
