Abstract
A solar concentrator of the type V-Trough is designed for a multipurpose integrated solar energy project in Helwan of Egypt. A suitable place in the NRIAG is selected. A concentration ratio matching the stability of the unconventional cooling technique for PV module 2.3 is chosen. A new cooling system with heat pipes for the module is manufactured. The optimum angles of setting the system for a maximum performance during the year are calculated using a ray tracing technique. The optimum dimensions of the PV module are 100 cm × 35 cm with an output voltage of 11.4 V and an output current of 4.29 A. The results show that establishing a solar thermal PV project with these conditions is promising for providing energy for off-grid local multipurpose integrated solar energy projects in that area.
