Numerical Investigation of the Temperature Distribution in PCM-integrated Solar Modules

Both lifetime and efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules are negatively affected by high and/or strongly fluctuating temperatures. An approach to improve the thermal performance is to add a phase change material (PCM) to the layer composition of PV modules. In order to be able to determine design p...
