A new method for evaluating nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of unglazed photovoltaic thermal module
Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) modules convert solar energy into electricity and heat. Unlike that of normal photovoltaic modules, the nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of PVT modules, which is used to evaluate the temperature and electrical power output, is unknown because it depends on the mass flow rate and inlet temperature of the working fluid in…

Evaluation of nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of glazed photovoltaic thermal module
Nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) was commonly used to evaluate photovoltaic (PV) module temperature and this term is provided by the manufacturer but in case of photovoltaic thermal module, the NOCT was not fixed and varied with the circulating fluid mass flow rate and its temperature. In this study, a novel approach on NOCT evaluation…
