The paper compares the performance of three Siliconbased technologies, two of which are based on highperformance monocrystalline Silicon cells (back-contact and HIT), and one is based on polycrystalline Silicon cells. The analysis is conducted considering two different types of supports, a 30° fix-tilt rack and a single axis tracker. Such an evaluation is, to the author's knowledge, unique in the Alpine region.

Thermal and electrical energy yield analysis of a directly water cooled photovoltaic module

2016

Electrical energy of photovoltaic modules drops by 0.5% for each degree increase in temperature. Direct water cooling of photovoltaic modules was found to give improved electrical and thermal yield. A prototype was put in place to analyse the field data for a period of a year. The results showed an initial high performance ratio and electrical power output. The monthly energy saving efficiency of the directly water cooled module was found to be approximately 61%. The solar utilisation of the naturally cooled photovoltaic module was found to be 8.79% and for the directly water cooled module its solar utilisation was 47.93%. Implementation of such systems on households may reduce the load from the utility company, bring about huge savings on electricity bills and help in reducing carbon emissions.
