Thermal and Electrical Performance of Uncooled, Nature-Cooled, and Photovoltaic Thermal Module

The experimental study is aimed at analyzing photovoltaic module’s thermal and electrical performance (PV) with back surface cooling under Malaysian tropical climate conditions. of a passively cooled PV module integrated biomaterial (moist coconut fiber) was compared (PVT) system water circulation the rate 0.02 kg s-1 reference module. observed that succeeded in reducing temperature by more than 20%. However, PVT reduced only less 17%. energy efficiency improved remarkably almost 11%, but managed to increase 9%, approximately. It can be concluded nature-inspired fiber-based one potential alternatives active methods.
