Solar energy is a combination of light and heat produced by the sun, where this energy is utilized by humans through solar collector technology consisting of PV modules to be converted into electrical energy. The development of PV module technology is carried out to improve its performance, where one of these technologies uses a reflecting mirror to increase the amount of sun radiation captured by the surface of the PV module. This research method uses performance analysis of the utilization of reflector mirrors added to the PV module system by using two different cases, among others are the use of two and four mirrors along the sides of the PV module. The results showed that the application of four reflective glass can direct the sun's radiation to the surface of the PV module with the amount of radiation intention doubled. This result is a kind of technology that gives us a good result to utilize it in building the solar power plant.
