“…The combination of thermo-electric cooling and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has shown promise in meeting the growing demand for efficient cooling technologies and renewable energy sources worldwide. Because solar PV systems can capture solar radiation and convert it into electrical power, they have attracted a lot of attention for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change (Bassam et al, 2023). At the same time, thermo-electric cooling systems offer an environmentally friendly method for maintaining temperatures in various applications, from electronics to refrigeration, by employing the Peltier effect to create temperature gradients (Khan et al, 2021).…”

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, coupled with thermo-electric cooling, have gained significant attention as an eco-friendly solution. To enhance energy efficiency and reduce the overall environmental impact of energy generation and consumption, it is a viable option. This study investigates the impact of critical parameters, namely inclination angle of solar panels, the type of material used in thermo-electric cooling modules, on the performance of a solar PV-thermo electric cooling system. In this research, the impact of inclination angles (15°, 20°, 25°) and two materials (Bismuth telluride and Peltium telluride) of thermoelectric were considered for this study. A comprehensive series of experiments were conducted to analyze the impact of varying inclination angles of the solar panels and material of thermoelectric cooler. The average incident irradiation, panel temperature and outpower of solar panel variation with time are presented. The optimum tilt angle of the solar panel is observed as 20° and material for thermoelectric cooler is Bismuth telluride. When using Bismuth telluride as a thermoelectric material with 20° tilt angle, the solar panel's temperature decreases by 14% and its outpower is augments by a maximum of 14.5%. The results presented here offer practical guidance for system design and operation, ultimately promoting the widespread adoption of this technology in a more environmentally conscious manner.

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) system in power system proved to be potential technology in terms of renewable energy sources. However, photovoltaic system has major drawback of rise in cell temperature, which results in low power production and reduced service life. To overcome the temperature rise in photovoltaic system, the addition of water cooling and phase change materials installed at rear side PV system termed as photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system has been adopted in this study. The organic phase change material (RT-42) having melting temperature of 42 ℃ and water cooling running at 0.45 litre per minute (LPM) under 440 W/m2 irradiation has been taken as input parameters. The photovoltaic system and water cooled photovoltaic system performance has been analysed by using real time solar simulator. Additionally, the PVT-PCM system is assessed by use of TRNSYS simulation. Finally, this study compares the thermal and electrical efficiency of PV, PVT, and PVT-PCM systems. The findings indicated that maximum temperature for PV cells in a PV system was 59 ℃. Water cooling alone reduces the temperature down to 49 ℃, whereas water cooling combined with phase change material (PVT-PCM) lowers it down to 36℃. Further, the heat gain of 189 watt and 191 watt was achieved for PVT and PVT-PCM system. Additionally, the PV, PVT, and PVT-PCM systems achieved electrical efficiencies of 6.1%, 7%, and 9.5%, correspondingly.

“…Solar photovoltaic thermal, commonly referred to as PVT, is a leading-edge technology at the forefront of rapidly growing solar energy technologies. Replacing the absorber plate with a photovoltaic cell, solar PVT operates similarly to thermal collectors (Ahmed et al, 2020;Bassam et al, 2023). By integrating photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors, this innovative technology effectively harnesses the sun's abundant energy, producing electricity and thermal energy (Sopian et al, 2000).…”

As the world shifts towards a more sustainable future, solar energy has emerged as a preeminent and economically feasible alternative to traditional energy sources, gaining widespread adoption. This study presents a reversed circular flow jet impingement (RCFJI) which aims to improve the performance of a bifacial PVT collector. An indoor experiment using a solar simulator to assess the energy, exergy, and economic efficiency of a RCFJI bifacial PVT collector. The study was carried out using a solar irradiance ranging from 500-900W/m2 and a mass flow rate between 0.01-0.14 kg/s. Energy performance-wise, the highest photovoltaic efficiency achieved was 11.38% at solar irradiance of 500 W/m2, while the highest thermal efficiency achieved was 61.4% under 900 W/m2, both obtained at 0.14 kg/s mass flow rate. Regarding exergy performance, the highest photovoltaic exergy obtained was 47.27 W under 900 W/m2 at 0.14 kg/s, while the highest thermal exergy was 9.67 W at 900 W/m2 at 0.01 kg/s. Overall, higher solar irradiance is more desirable for energy and exergy performance. Meanwhile, economic point of view, lower solar irradiance is preferable. Based on the findings, the optimal mass flow rate was 0.06 kg/s.
