Thermal cooling of photovoltaic panels using porous material

An effective photovoltaic thermal regulation technique using porous material confined at the backside of the panel is proposed. Numerical thermal analysis was conducted to study the case of a steady-state mixed convection heat transfer with solar radiation using ANSYS® Fluent. Discrete Ordinate (DO)...
