Thermal regulation of photovoltaic modules using thermal energy storage units with PCMs

High operating temperatures reduce the performance of commercial polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) devices by reducing the efficiency of solar to electrical energy conversion in the PV cells. This paper presents the major developments in the construction of a real-scale experimental apparatu...
