| Abstract |
During the electricity generation of photovoltaic (PV) cells, large fraction of solar
radiation gets converted into heat which raises the temperature and decreases the electrical
efficiency. In order to reduce the heat accumulation, there are several methods that can be
applied to cooling the solar panel. One of the simple and efficient approaches is to use the
phase change materials (PCM) as a heat absorber. This research is the designed and
constructed a housing container for filling up palm wax that is used as a PCM. The designed
PCM containers are groove type, tube type, and fin type. Experiment was to compare the PV
cell that installed the designed with PCM (test module) and with non-installed PCM containers
(reference module). Exposure time for solar radiation is carried out from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
at an atmospheric condition in Khon Kaen, Province of Thailand (latitude, 16° 25' 50" N and
longitude, 102° 37' 0" E). Results showed that when the time is at 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, solar
radiation yield the most constant value. It was found that the designed fin type achieved the
most outstanding heat reduction when compare with other designed prototype. The designed
fin type has also reduced an average temperature by 6.167 °C and the average electrical
efficiency is increased by 4.858 per cent. |
