| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 模具工程系 === 104 === Efficiency of silicon module is commonly affected by its operating temperature. However, many solar modules are not designed to have high efficiency correspond to different operating temperature. It is because these solar modules are packed with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Tedlar that are weak thermal conductivity. As a result, heat is trapped and hardly released from the solar modules. In such situation, the efficiency pertaining to solar module is significantly affected. As such, it is important to conduct a research that can address such issue.
This study is aimed to apply Pyrolytic Artificial Graphite Sheet (PAGS) in improving the efficiency of solar module. It is worth-mentioning that PAGS is a light, thin and good thermal conductivity material. The use of PAGS in solar module can release heat from solar module and therefore the efficiency of the solar module can be improved.
In this research, a series of experiments with different settings, e.g., ratio of PAGS area corresponds to solar module (A_b/A), ratio of PAGS area exposed to surrounding area (A_∞/A) and etc., is investigated. Two important equipment, i.e., Nisshinbo simulator and infrared camera FLIR A315, are used. From the experiment, the settings that provide the solar module with PAGS placed at center have maximum temperature different around 7.5℃ from none PAGS and optimal efficiency pertaining to solar module are known as A_b/A with 0.4216 and A_b/A with 0.2867, respectively. In short, the experiment positively proves that PAGS is a useful heat dissipation material in solar module.
