Researchers from Iran’s University of Tabriz have developed a novel PV module cooling method that uses twisted tape in water-cooled channels to enhance heat transfer. “Using twisted tape inside the ...
Researchers in Iraq have developed biomimetic leaf vein–inspired fins for photovoltaic panels, with reticulate (RET) venation reducing panel temperature by 33.6 C and boosting efficiency by 18% using ...
(a) Cross-sectional view; (b) 3-D model. (The PV cells are on the two sloped, flat sides of the central primary PV-T channel). Conventional photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) collectors have coupled ...
