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…
