Abstract
ABSTRACT The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels is a function of temperature. Efficiency decreases by 0.5%°K−1 after 25°C. Phase change material (PCM) technology due to its ability to store and transmit heat is widely adopted as a cooling medium in the present-day research. This research articulates MATLAB simulation and modeling of integrated photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) system, utilizing acetone to attain the desired objective of cooling PV panels and generating hot water in a simultaneous manner under the climatic conditions of Jalandhar, India. The reduction in temperature of PV panel with cooling system was 8.8°C compared to standalone PV systems. The thermal system is designed for generating hot water at 50°C.The temperature of the water can be increased up to 70°C by reprogramming the microcontroller.
