Diurnal Thermal Behavior of Photovoltaic Panel with Phase Change Materials under Different Weather Conditions

The electric power generation efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels depends on the solar irradiation flux and the operating temperature of the solar cell. To increase the power generation efficiency of a PV system, this study evaluated the feasibility of phase change materials (PCMs) to reduce the...
