Use of phase change material (PCM) to generate temperature stratification in water storage tank coupled with unglazed photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module for combined heat and power generation enhancement was investigated by experimental and numerical analyses. In the experiment, RT42 PCM having melting point of 38–43 °C was filled in a packed-bed of 40 mm diameter spherical…
