Numerical Investigation of the Thermal Management Performance of MEPCM Modules for PV Applications

The efficiency of photovoltaic modules decreases as the cell temperature increases. It is necessary to have an adequate thermal management mechanism for a photovoltaic module, especially when combined with a building construction system. This study aims to investigate via computational fluid dynamic...
