Performance enhancement of photovoltaic cells using phase change material (PCM) in winter

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules worsens due to increasing their operating temperature. In the current study, a passive cooling technique comprising an aluminum metal foam (AMF) with PCM for thermal regulation of a PV system is performed. Outdoors experiments are conducted comprising two...
