Solar Photovoltaic Panels with Finned Phase Change Material Heat Sinks

Solar Photovoltaic Panels with Finned Phase Change Material Heat Sinks

Phase change material (PCM) based passive cooling of photovoltaics (PV) can be highly productive due to high latent heat capacity. However, the low rate of heat transfer limits its usefulness. Thus, the presented work aims at the improvement in PV cooling by using finned PCM (FPCM) heat sinks. In th...
