Experimental analysis of energy production of a hybrid thermal-photovoltaic solar panel enhanced with phase-change material

The paper presents the difference between 2 photovoltaic thermal panels (PV/T), panels with the same initial characteristics. During the experiment, in PV/T panel no. 1 we introduce 14 kg of RT 35 phase change material, material with a liquid density at 45°C of 0.77 kg/l. According to the technical...

Description
Summary:The paper presents the difference between 2 photovoltaic thermal panels (PV/T), panels with the same initial characteristics. During the experiment, in PV/T panel no. 1 we introduce 14 kg of RT 35 phase change material, material with a liquid density at 45°C of 0.77 kg/l. According to the technical sheet of the panel, PV/T volume no. 1 was occupied 50% with PCM RT 35. Panel no. 2 is a normal PV/T. Following measurements made with the data recorder BTM-4208 SD, a difference of 6°C results on the faces of the panels. The energy production for PV/T no. 1 with PCM RT35 is 10.046 kWh compared to PV/T panel no. 2 where the energy production is 8.443 kWh. Conclusion: the efficiency of the PV/T panel no. 1 with PCM RT 35 is better by 15.20% compared to panel no. 2 PV/T.
