Improving the efficiency of photovoltaic panels using air exhausted from HVAC systems: Thermal modelling and parametric analysis

The present work proposes the engagement of relatively cold air exhausted from Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, that exist in structures such as residential commercial and industrial, to reduce the PV modules’ operational temperature. To proceed, a thermal resistance model i...
