A River Trash Collector System (RTCS) which powered by several DC batteries has been designed. This system is run to control waste and trash pollution at several areas along Malacca River. The objective of this work were to design an aesthetic solar panel as charging station for the RTCS and study the electrical output of solar cell use in the prototype. A bloomed flower shape of solar panel design was selected from four concept designs by Pugh Method. Five criteria were applied for the selection and the final concept was selected from concept model with highest score. Prototype of the selected model was fabricated by rapid prototyping method and sixteen commercially available solar cells with size of 65 mm×65 mm×3 mm were used for the prototype. Electrical output from single solar cell was examined to study the power output of the cell. It was found that single solar cell able to produce minimum electric power of 0.01 watt and maximum power of 0.353 watt. The power output of the solar cells was significantly affected by temperature of solar cell and increasing of relative humidity which consider to reduce sunlight intensity.
