“…3 The solar chimney (SC) station, which was made to produce electricity, provided a suitable opportunity to use clean, non-polluting environmental sources. 4 This station involves a chimney tower and solar collector. A traditional chimney also has a turbine that permits air and heat to flow by solar energy.…”

“…One of the most important of these methods is the usage of phase-change materials, the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels, or the integration of SC systems with alternative energy sources, whether non-conventional or traditional. 4 Also, in recent years, PV panels have begun to form an important part of the global energy system as a result of the widespread use of these PV panels in generating electrical energy. 16 However, what is wrong with PV panels is their reduced efficiency when the temperature rises, specifically in hot countries, which prompted researchers to search for ways to cool the panels and take benefit of this heat in various applications.…”

In this study, an experimental model of a photovoltaic (PV) solar chimney (SC) was built and study the extent to which the asphalt material, being a phase‐change material, affects its performance electrical and thermal. Results were taken for the two systems: The photovoltaic solar chimney which contains phase change material (SCPV‐PCM), and the photovoltaic solar chimney which does not contain phase change material (SCPV). The finding demonstrated that the PCM affects the SCPV electrical and thermal performance; the results were as follows: The electrical power for the SCPV‐PCM system increased during the day and its highest value at noon was 384.34 W, and then it began to decrease. The SCPV system had a higher power at the end of the test, 73.24 W, due to the lower temperature of the PV panel. The highest electrical efficiency was for the SCPV‐PCM system at the beginning of the test, reaching the highest value of 13.12%, then it decreased at the end of the test to be less than the SCPV system at 5:00 pm. The thermal efficiency of the SCPV‐PCM arrangement is lesser than the arrangement that does not contain PCM, reaching its highest value at noon, which was 57.1% for the SCPV system. The total efficiency of the SCPV‐PCM system is lesser than the SCPV system from the beginning of the test until 3:30 pm approximately, reaching its highest value of 68.05% at noon.

“…Solar energy is the backbone of renewable energies due to its simplicity of equipment technology and ease of manufacture and maintenance of its equipment. 2 However, solar energy systems need to store energy, especially at night times or on cloudy days which adds extra cost to these systems. Solar energy systems are classified into two essential sections: The first section is solar thermal energy systems, which include solar collectors for heating water or heating the air and other applications.…”

Summary An unfamiliar design of photovoltaic (PV)/solar pond was presented in the article. This design integrated the floating PV panel technology with the solar pond technology. This new design is called the Floating Photovoltaic Solar Pond (FPVSP). The design aims to reduce water evaporation from water bodies, cool solar panels, and store solar energy in the pond. To assess the effectiveness of the innovative system, two experimental models were built for this purpose. The first model includes the PV/thermal collector floating upon the pond and the second model is a solar panel with the same specifications of the solar panel for the first model. The outcomes confirmed that the presence of the glass cover increases the overall efficiency of the system, the temperature of the floating solar panel, and the average water temperature of the solar pond. Also, the glass cover reduces the electrical efficiency of the solar panel. The increase in the depth of the pond slightly affected the solar panel temperature for the glazed and un‐glazed systems and decreased the water temperature of the solar pond. On the other hand, increasing the depth of the pond rises the electrical generation from the solar panels. The angle of inclination of the floating solar panel over the pond was an influential factor in determining the electric power produced. Finally, the proposed system recorded a high energy efficiency of 49% compared to the efficiency of the classical solar ponds, which does not exceed 20%.
