Study on phase change material and its appropriate thickness for controlling solar cell module temperature
Appropriate thickness of phase change material (PCM) to control the solar cell module temperature for increasing power generation was carried out. A PCM, RUBITHERM RT42, with the melting point at 42°C and a thickness of 50 mm was used to absorb heat at the back of a 250 Wp polycrystalline solar cell. A numerical enthalpy…
