Abstract

In order to grasp the characteristics of phase change material (PCM) in solar cell thermal control, a two-dimensional thermal control structure model of PV/PCM solar cell thermal control system was established, and study was conducted on influence of PCM phase change temperature, thermal conductivity, latent heat value, etc. on the temperature control characteristics of solar cells. The results show that PCM phase change temperature, thermal conductivity, latent heat value will affect solar cell temperature control characteristics in varying degrees. At the same time, thermal control characteristics of PCM are greatly affected by environmental meteorological conditions (solar irradiance, ambient temperature). The research results provide a reference for optimization design of PV/PCM solar cell thermal control system.
