Performance enhancement of PV panels using phase change material (PCM): An experimental implementation

In the present study, cooling of a photovoltaic (PV) panel using a phase change material (PCM) of paraffin wax RT-42 attached to a panel back surface is experimentally investigated. Two identical PV panels having a maximum electrical generated power of 40 W are employed to perform the outdoor experi...
