Abstract

The temperature rise degrades the power of solar cells. The use of phase change material (PCM) is a self-regulatory process of upgrading the performance. Fins can additionally upgrade the performance. A photovoltaic (PV) equipped with fins embedded PCM is modelled in Fluent. Three arrangements: PV with no temperature management, PCM equipped PV and fins embedded PCM for PV are compared for South East UK. The outcomes convey that, for summers at Portsmouth (50.80°N, 1.09°W), the aggregated daily electrical output of a 4000Wp photovoltaic array can be elevated by 1200Wh and 1400Wh using phase change material and fins embedded phase change material respectively.
