Energy Efficiency Enhancement of Photovoltaics by Phase Change Materials through Thermal Energy Recovery
Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert a certain amount of incident solar radiation into electricity, while the rest is converted to heat, leading to a temperature rise in the PV. This elevated temperature deteriorates the power output and induces structural degradation, resulting in reduced PV lifespan....
