The performance of PV (photovoltaic) module is strongly dependent on its operating temperature. Most of the energy absorbed by the panel is converted to heat which is normally lost and provides no value. In order to study the performance of a hybrid PV water cooled system, a numerical model (electrical and thermal) is developed using EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software. The model predicts various...
A photovoltaic hybrid system cooled by water on the back surface has been designed, developed and tested for its performance evaluation. The performance of the proposed hybrid water cooled PV system has been evaluated for the weather condition of Dhahran, a city lying on the east coast of Saudi Arabia. The experimental results showed that with active water cooling, the module PV temperature dropped...
Concentrating solar photovoltaic (PV) cells seems to be the most viable method to reduce the cost of the direct conversion of solar radiation to electricity. A non-imaging concentrator, namely Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) with a flat receiver is considered in this research to compose concentrating photovoltaic cells. CPC requires intermittent tracking and has large acceptance angle to receive...
