Transient optimization of annual performance of a photovoltaic thermal system based on accurate estimation of coolant water temperature: A comparison with conventional methods

One of the most critical parameters affecting the performance of a hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) panel is the coolant inlet fluid temperature. There are several approaches to estimate the water inlet temperature. This paper discusses the effects of an accurate evaluation of the actual temperatu...
