Abstract
In this article, an innovative water-based photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) system is proposed. A cooling box is designed and coupled with photovoltaic panel in order investigate the thermal behavior of the system. Different inlet temperatures and flow rates are examined under standard test conditions (STC). The temperature distribution and average temperature of the photovoltaic module layers are investigated. The results show that when the mass flow rate is 0.014 kg/s, and the inlet flow temperature is 15 °C, the PV module reaches an electrical conversion efficiency of 19.12% with 78.32% of thermal efficiency. The designed cooling system exhibits better performance with a significant increase in thermal and electrical conversion efficiency compared to current solutions in the literature. The findings in this paper highlight the utility of PV/T systems and their massive potential to popularize the solar energy field and harvest thermal and electrical energy simultaneously.
