A REVIEW OF PV COOLING AND THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE IN PV/T SYSTEMS BASED PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS

Solar energy has advantages such as accessibility, applicability and predictability compared to other renewable sources. This source is used for many purposes in the world. Photovoltaic panels provide applications generating electricity from solar or heating cooling. Their performance changes depending on PV panel material, amount of radiation operating temperature factors. In electrical conversion systems, overheating module leads a decrease power generation causes efficiency. Therefore, there are cooling methods panels, they divided into passive active. this study, properties phase change material (PCM) given. addition, studies using PCM reduce experimental numerical that increase efficiency by thermal discussed. studies, it been seen reduces increases output data obtained when used.
