Evaluation of the electrical performance of a photovoltaic thermal system using nano-enhanced paraffin and nanofluids

Performance degradation of photovoltaic modules occurs when cell temperature increases; this is due to losses within the cell and the effect of surrounding weather as well. An increase in cell temperature leads to a decrease in the open-circuit voltage and hence, the electrical power produced by the...
