Progress in research and technological developments of phase change materials integrated photovoltaic thermal systems: The allied problems and their mitigation strategies
The efficiency of solar cells and photovoltaic (PV) panels are lacking significantly due to its surface overheating by the incident solar radiation. Indeed, the generated heat energy is harnessed by integrating a thermal system into PV panel, which introduces a photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system. Pha...
