This study discusses the development of a small-scale concentrated solar panel (CSP). The CSP consisted of a 25W PV module, a parabolic reflector, and a water-cooling system, with the goal of evaluating its performance in terms of output power in comparison to a conventional solar panel. The research methodology used was experimental, with the CSP being constructed and tested under different conditions. Subsequent testing demonstrated no significant difference in output power between the CSP and conventional solar panels, suggesting the proposed design's potential in enhancing solar energy generation. This study adds to the continual development of renewable energy technology, namely small-scale solar power generation.
