Influence of encapsulation materials on the thermal performance of concentrator photovoltaic cells

The Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) layer in the polycrystalline solar cells suffers from lower thermal conductivity. Therefore, this work presents a numerical study for a possible way to enhance the thermal conductivity of the lower encapsulant layer. A comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) model is pr...
