“…Decreased solar absorber plate temperature led to an increase in the yield of electrical power of the PV module. The proposed design helped to increase the electrical efficiency from 14.1 to 16% with 1.028 kW of thermal energy, and overall efficiency reached 72.3% [20]. AL-Musawi et al [21] propose active cooling by a rectangular insulation duct integrated at the backside of the PV module.…”

Overcoming the issue of photovoltaic (PV) module productivity at high temperatures is one of the most critical obstacles facing its use. PV cells are made of silicon, which loses its properties at high temperatures, degrading the PV module work. The present research compares cotton wicks integrated with rectangular aluminium fins (CWIRAFs) submerged in water as passive cooling with an absorbing plate and copper pipes attached at the PV module backside as active cooling. Compared with the PV module without cooling, CWIRAFs have better performance with the PV module than active cooling owing to evaporative cooling and increased heat dissipation area represented by wet cotton bristles integrated. The PV module is exposed to significant performance degradation without cooling in hot climate conditions. As a result, using CWIRAFs with the PV module had reduced the temperature by 31.4%, increased the power by up to 66.6%, and increased the electrical efficiency from 3.12 to 8.6%. Active cooling methods have reduced the PV temperature by 20.8%, increased the power by 56.7%, and enhanced electrical efficiency by 7.9%. Removing excess heat from the backside of the PV module via circulating water has improved the thermal efficiency and overall efficiency of the PVT system by about 26.3 and 34.2%, respectively.

“…In addition, the costs of HIT-PV/T systems are much lower than those of conventional systems and the payback time can be less than 3 years. Also, Hachchadi et al 12 numerically investigated the coupling of air PV/T collectors and a water-to-air heat exchanger. Hachchadi et al showed that the proposed system for an airflow rate of 0.25 kg/s and a PV/T area of 17 m 2 could reduce the total area required for heating by about 33%.…”

In addition to the electricity produced by photovoltaic cells, the use of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal collector (PV/T) can simultaneously produce thermal energy and reduce the energy loss from the photovoltaic module. There are many types of hybrid PV/T collector depending on the number of additional glasses, the configuration of the exchanger used, the nature of the heat transfer fluid, and so forth. In this article, we will study a polycrystalline photovoltaic module with a diode and a hybrid PV/T collector with glazed and unglazed configurations, a comparison of electrical and thermal studies is presented between these three systems under the climatic conditions of Ghardaïa city (semiarid region). To this end, a numerical model have been developed and evaluated by means of a simulation in the MATLAB environment. In addition, it has been validated experimentally. The experimental results are in good agreement with those of simulation, the useful energy efficiency values are 6.78, 68, and 67.86% for the photovoltaic generator (GPV), unglazed hybrid collector (PV/T-I), and glazed hybrid collector (PV/T-II), respectively; otherwise, the energy losses for the same systems reach 93.22, 32, and 32.14%, respectively; therefore, the hybrid collector has the best overall performance compared to the GPV. The results also show the effect of additional glass on the useful energy of the hybrid collector under semiarid area climatic conditions.
